1. whereas on 24 May 2023 Ukrainian teenagers Tihran Ohannisian and Mykyta Khanhanov were charged by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for allegedly planning to sabotage railways in the Ukrainian city of Berdyansk and face severe sentences of up to 20 years in prison under Article 281 of the Russian Criminal Code;

1.听Urges Russia to immediately release Tihran Ohannisian and Mykyta Khanhano from house arrest and to cease their mistreatment as well as that of any other Ukrainian citizen detained in Russia and or in the territories of Ukraine currently occupied by Russia;

2.听Calls on the Russian authorities to urgently allow diplomats, lawyers and representatives from international organizations access in order to assess the health and psychological condition of the two teenagers as well as their needs for emergency aid;

3.听Demands that Russia treat all Ukrainians in Russian captivity or living in territories currently occupied by Russia in full compliance with international humanitarian law;

4.听Condemns Russia鈥檚 actions deliberately targeting Ukrainian children and teenagers, including their detention, mistreatment, forcible transfer within parts of Ukraine鈥檚 territory temporarily occupied by Russia, unlawful deportation to Russia and Belarus and forcible adoptions by Russian families as well as their so-called 鈥渞e-education鈥�;

听

5. 听Considers that the forcible deportation of thousands of Ukrainian children and teenagers to Russia and Belarus could qualify as a genocidal crime and is a particularly atrocious aspect of Russia鈥檚 war and Russia鈥檚 many war crimes; therefore welcomes the arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court against the President of the Russian Federation and the so-called Commissioner for Children鈥檚 Rights in the Office of the President and calls on the international community to establish accountability for all the war crimes committed in Ukraine and against the people of Ukraine;
