Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports that some of the Ukrainian children allegedly deported to Belarus have been given military training.

There is growing evidence, confirmed by the Belarusian authorities and Belarusian Red Cross, that Ukrainian children are being sent to so-called "recreation camps" in Belarus. We are following closely the investigations launched by the Lithuanian and Ukrainian authorities into the nature of these child transfers, and the experience of children while in Belarus, including allegations regarding the political and military indoctrination of Ukrainian children. We call upon Belarus to ensure that no Ukrainian children are forcibly transferred to its territory, and continue to condemn Belarus's facilitation of Russian aggression against Ukraine.
