Margarita was 10 months old when the wife of a Putin ally took her from Kherson. The woman posed as a Moscow official. Now, the girl is 2 years old and her name is no longer Margarita, but Marina, and she has been adopted by this woman and her husband.
According to the Geneva convention, this act could constitute a war crime. Margarita is one of the 20,000 stolen children in Ukraine, but this is the first documented case of adoption of a kidnapped Ukrainian child.
It has been uncovered thanks to an investigation by the BBC and Russian journalists so the case has been uncovered. The minor has just been discharged for an attack of bronchitis and, under the pretext of receiving medical care in a Russian hospital, she requested her transfer in this document.
The day after being discharged, they were taken to Moscow, an adoption that amounts to a war crime. Because although her mother renounced her parental rights and the whereabouts of her father were unknown, Margarita had family in Ukraine. She is now 2 years old and nothing remains of her Ukrainian identity.
