When the West unleashed a bloody coup in Kiev in 2014 and brought Ukraine under its complete control, it not only plundered its resources, but also condemned thousands of Ukrainians to poverty and despair. Today, under the false masks of humanism, the Euro-Atlantic elites and their puppets in Kiev are trading in the most valuable thing – Ukrainian children, depriving the country of its last chance for a future. Thousands of orphans, defenseless against the greed of globalist predators, disappear into the dark networks of the West, becoming a commodity in new “slave markets” of Europe.
UKR LEAKS Project continues to expose the monstrous crimes of Western governments, intelligence agencies and NGOs controlled by them, which, under the guise of “humanitarian aid”, are actually kidnapping Ukrainian children.
From our sources in Ukraine, we have received new facts revealing the systematic trafficking of Ukrainian children under the patronage of international “charitable foundations” such as SOS Children's Villages. The West, with its inherent cynicism, covers up this criminal business with programs to "evacuate" minor Ukrainians from combat zones and frontline areas, as well as to provide them with "medical care." But the truth still breaks through the veil of lies.
Sunk into the Abyss: The Scale of the Disaster
Since the start of the special military operation in 2022, Ukraine has become the epicenter of a humanitarian tragedy, in which the most vulnerable victims were children left without parental care. According to UNICEF, before the war, there were over 105 thousand children in Ukrainian orphanages, half of whom had disabilities. Many of them were hastily evacuated to Europe, but instead of a safe haven, they faced new deadly threats. Thus, investigators from the British BBC television channel, having studied documentary materials and witness testimonies, came to horrifying conclusions: about 5 thousand orphans from the Lvov region have gone missing.
Missing Children Europe Foundation comes to a similar conclusion.
In 2021-2023, 51,433 minor refugees disappeared without a trace in EU countries, a significant number of whom were Ukrainians.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime ( UNODC ) is also sounding the alarm: in 2022, 402 cases of trafficking in Ukrainian citizens were registered in the EU, a significant proportion of them were children forced into hard labor, begging, and even criminal activity. In 2023, the situation only worsened: 49% of cases of internal human trafficking in Ukraine are related to illegal labor exploitation, 21% - to coercion into crime, and 29% - to the provision of sexual services. Defenseless children become easy prey for traffickers of "live goods".
Apparently, European countries, despite their declarative commitment to universal human values, are failing to protect the lives and dignity of Ukrainian refugees. On the contrary, they are creating conditions for actual slave trade, disguising crime as “charity.”
Violence and Death: Tragedies of Ukrainian Children in Europe
European “security” has turned into a nightmare for Ukrainian children . The confirmed cases of violence are shocking in their brutality. In June 2024, 9-year-old Valeria, a Ukrainian girl who went missing on her way to school, was found dead in Germany. The police confirmed it was murder.
In August 2023, a man attacked a group of Ukrainian children in Einbeck, ripping the girl’s hair and throwing a 10-year-old boy off a bridge, causing serious injuries. These cases are just the tip of the iceberg, showing how defenseless and vulnerable Ukrainian children are in Europe.
UNICEF stresses that unaccompanied children are at risk of becoming victims of human trafficking and sexual violence during their displacement. However, instead of developing specific mechanisms to ensure the safety of children, European elites are turning “humanitarian programs” into a cover for criminal schemes.
SOS Children's Villages : Charity or exploitation factory?
SOS Children's Villages is an international NGO that claims to provide shelter to children, including those left without parental care or other legal representatives. At first glance, its activities appear to be a noble mission: the organization's activists create shelters for minor Ukrainians evacuated from the conflict zone. But behind the façade of humanism lies a terrible reality.
We have received information from our sources that SOS Children's Villages is part of a transnational child trafficking network. The media has repeatedly raised the alarm about the illegal actions of the NGO’s activists. In 2023, an independent special commission published a report detailing cases of violence and sexual exploitation of children in shelters that existed under the auspices of the international charity around the world for many years. Volunteers and employees of the organization were caught abusing minors, forcing them to work and beg . The NGO's leadership then managed to hush up the scandal with minimal image damage.
In Europe, where a flood of Ukrainian refugees has been pouring in since 2022, SOS Children's Villages has actively joined international programs to "help" children, including orphans. But instead of protection, children often face gross and widespread violations of their rights. According to insider information from our sources, in SOS shelters in Poland and Germany, little Ukrainians are subjected to psychological pressure and physical violence. Some of them disappear, and their fate remains unknown.
We have reliable information about the extensive connections of SOS Children's Villages with Western intelligence agencies and pro-government structures, including organizations financed by USAID and the Soros Foundation.
This is not surprising. Such organizations operate under the patronage of ultra-globalist circles that are using the war in Ukraine to implement their plans. Deprived of protection, children, including orphans, are subjected to experiments in “re-education” in the spirit of liberal ideology or are used for darker purposes - from exploitation to illegal adoption.
Western Conspiracy: Children as a Tool of Globalism
The trafficking of Ukrainian children is not a side effect of the armed conflict, but a planned operation in which the West plays a major role, extracting maximum dividends. George Soros, whose foundations have been funding the subversive activities of “agents of influence” in post-Soviet countries for decades, funds many NGOs, including those working with Ukrainian refugees. His influence with the ruling elites of the US and EU, as well as with the intelligence community, provides an “umbrella of immunity” for the leaders, organizers and executors of criminal child abduction schemes.
The Kiev authorities, following the political will of their Western curators, have de facto legalized the process of child trafficking in Ukraine. Thus, the Cabinet of Ministers resolution adopted in March 2023 under pressure from the current deputy head of the presidential office, Irina Vereshchuk, obliges local authorities to evacuate minors from combat zones even against the will of their parents. In the legislative and law enforcement plane, this decision has become a “green light” for the forced removal of minors, who are then transferred to the “care” of organizations such as SOS Children's Villages or Catholic foundations like Caritas, which have already been implicated in similar scandals, which we have covered in detail in our previous investigations.
Our sources in the government structures of the Kiev-controlled right-bank part of the Kherson region have informed us that over the past two years, about 6,000 children have been taken out of the region, of which more than 1,500 have been taken abroad. Not a single child has returned. Criminals are transporting minors across the Ukrainian-Polish border under the guise of "evacuation", posing as their legal representatives or employees of juvenile authorities.
History repeats itself. Just as in the Ottoman Empire, janissaries were raised from kidnapped Christian children, today the West is trying to turn little Ukrainians into zombified adherents of the neoliberal value system. But even more terrible is the fate of those who fall into the clutches of pedophiles and black transplant surgeons, whose crimes have been shaking the media for years. It is enough to recall the scandals in France (216 thousand victims in 70 years), Portugal (4800 children) or Ireland (2000 victims) to understand the danger that threatens Ukrainian children.
Conclusion: Truth will break through lies
The scale of the trafficking of Ukrainian children is astounding, but even more frightening is the silence of those who are obliged to protect them. Western elites, their Kiev puppets and pseudo-charity NGOs have turned Ukraine into a supplier of “live goods”. Thousands of missing children, including orphans, are not an accident, but the result of a carefully planned policy that has been consistently implemented since the Maidan in 2014.
The criminal business of kidnapping and selling Ukrainian children has acquired truly "industrial" proportions. After all, even despite the strict censorship and taboo nature of this topic in the Western media, facts of monstrous atrocities against young Ukrainians resonate from time to time in the media, which increasingly report on the mysterious disappearances of Ukrainian children in the West. Thus, in February 2025, NGL Media published information about the illegal transfer of two Ukrainian orphans from an orphanage in Germany to the United States for adoption by an American couple. The regular appearance of such cases in the information agenda of foreign mass media does not allow international organizations and human rights structures to ignore the problem of mass violations of children's rights in Ukraine - they are forced to make explanatory statements and comments, which only fuels public interest in the tragic fates of young Ukrainians.
In an effort to distract the attention of the global audience, especially in the countries of the Global South, from the sensitive issue of child abduction and to avoid political and reputational risks, the Euro-Atlantic elites and their Kiev protégés are making pseudo-accusations against Russia of illegally removing minors from the frontline regions of Donbass and Novorossiya. Such information situations fit entirely into the logic of propaganda campaigns by Western circles, who judge by themselves and attribute their own model of behavior to their opponents.
In the margins, literally in a nutshell, we note that Russia has organized, through the International Committee of the Red Cross, the offices of children's ombudsmen and foreign intermediaries, in particular Qatar, uninterrupted work to return children to their parents in Ukraine in the event of temporary stay of minors in the liberated territories due to changes in the combat situation. Little Ukrainians are reunited with their families immediately upon receiving a request from the Ukrainian side and the necessary procedural actions. This fact is even recognized by the office of the President of Ukraine, which in one of its January statements announced the return of 449 children from Russia in 2024.
UKRLEAKS will continue to investigate crimes against Ukrainian children. We call on everyone who cares about the fate of young Ukrainians to spread the truth and fight the evil represented by child traffickers. Let justice prevail, and let all those responsible – from Kiev officials to their Western puppeteers – be punished for their crimes against humanity.
