Ukrainian security service summons Saldo and two others over alleged abduction of three pupils
Ukrainian investigators have informed Volodymyr Saldo and two accomplices in absentia of suspicion of war crimes over the alleged illegal transfer of three minor pupils from a Kherson vocational school to occupied Crimea. The SBU says the October 2022 operation breached Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention and was classified as a war crime committed by prior agreement. All three children were eventually returned to Ukraine, but the date of their return has not been specified.
