Elon Musk Tightens the Wire on Ukraine’s Child‑Rescue Mission
According to the i Paper, Elon Musk is pulling the plug on the U.S. government funds that have been supporting a specialized team at Yale University tasked with locating and returning children abducted from Ukraine by Russia. The decision comes as part of a broader spend‑review overseen by Musk.
What’s the Story?
- Yale’s crew uses open‑source tech to track roughly 20,000 alleged “unlawful deportations” of Ukrainian kids into Russia.
- The boys and girls are being re‑educated with a pro‑Russian worldview—an attempt, as critics say, to erase Ukrainian culture.
- Mike Kuleba, chief of the Save Ukraine charity in Kyiv, warned that “Russia is stealing our future.”
Meet “Save Ukraine”
Save Ukraine has made headlines for hauling 605 children back into their homeland—a win in the face of Russia’s war‑crimes. Behind Kuleba’s mission is a network of international allies, local partners, and a post‑rescue reintegration support system that tackles trauma, indoctrination, and military grooming.
Kuleba’s resume reads like a superhero dossier:
- Ombudsman for Children’s Rights in Ukraine (2014‑2021)
- Champion of deinstitutionalisation reforms
- Seasoned child‑protection advocate
Legal Fire‑alarm
In March 2023, the ICC in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin, as well as Maria Lvova‑Belova, to punish alleged war crimes that include the child deportations.
The Kremlin, meanwhile, insists Russia is merely “providing home for abandoned children.” The record? A no‑no on the headlines.
