“While Kremlin officials argue that they are “saving” the children by removing them from their homes, international watchdogs have called the forcible removal of Ukrainian kids — including infants as young as four months old — a war crime.”

It seems to be a part of the US propaganda machine. Lots of news like this is pushed by the state department during times of conflict and war. Like, during the cuban revolution the US literally abducted 30,000 cuban children and then accused cuba of killing infants. In the Iraq war they constantly pushed out stories that the iraq army were going into hospitals and ripping newborns out of incubators and smashing them of the floor. It’s all to rile up the US in support of the proxy war.
I would believe this as well.
Unfortunately, propaganda is more than just collusion to spread misinformation. Some people want propaganda, and our capitalist society incentivizes taking advantage of those people accordingly.
Looked up the abduction thing
