The mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children by Russia has earned Vladimir Putin and his "children's rights" commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, an indictment by the International Criminal Court. “I don’t know where my mom is, she has disappeared,” he insists, returning to this terrible turning point in March 2022 when, taken to a Russian army filtration camp, the mother and son were brutally separated, in violation of the laws of the Geneva Convention on the Law of War.

During this event co-organized by the Latvian and Ukrainian governments, Sashko and eight other companions, were kidnapped.
