Bizarre how NATO states pushed for the Putin ICC arrest warrant, “accusing the Russian president of the “unlawful deportation” of Ukrainian children to a “network of camps” throughout Russia” despite the fact that it was “inspired by a State Department-funded report that contained no field reporting, no concrete evidence of war crimes, and no proof that Russia was actually targeting Ukrainian youth with a massive deportation campaign. In fact, the investigators acknowledged finding “no documentation of child mistreatment, including sexual or physical violence, among the camps referenced in this report.”” According to the co-author of this report, which was the basis for the arrest warrant, “acknowledged that “a large amount” of the camps his team investigated were “primarily cultural education – like, I would say, teddy bear.”” One reporter took video footage and conducted interviews inside one these camps: youtube.com/watch?v=NDS…
