Ukrainian children, who were taken by invaders from the occupied territories to Belarus, remain very vulnerable to human trafficking.
US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said at a briefing that the United States is monitoring developments, Voice of America reports. Washington currently does not know whether children will continue to be exploited, so the government continues to monitor the situation.
"Belarus is complicit in Russian military aggression. It is not a disinterested third country that provides shelter to children during conflict. Such operations disproportionately target vulnerable children, in particular, likely orphans, children with disabilities, children from low-income families and children of Ukrainian military personnel "Miller said.
However, the State Department speaker did not answer the question whether in this regard the International Criminal Court should issue an arrest warrant for the Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko.
