  1. >Team finding kidnapped Ukrainian children scrapped by Doge

    >​A taskforce which helped find hundreds of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia has been scrapped by Elon Musk’s Doge.

    >The Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL), which was based at Yale University is the latest organisation to fall victim to the tech billionaire’s evisceration of the federal budget.

    >It is estimated that more than 20,000 Ukrainian children have been kidnapped by the Russians since the 2022 invasion.

    >“Researchers at the Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) were notified recently that government funding for their work on the war in Ukraine has been discontinued,” a Yale spokesman said.

    >“HRL investigates and addresses humanitarian crises worldwide, using data and analysis from open-source and remote sensing.”

    >Campaigners say the children have been indoctrinated to Russian customs and turned against their home country.

    >The Yale team located hundreds of children who were unlawfully brought to Russia working with Bring Kids Back UA, a campaign launched by Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president.

    >In all, around 1,240 have been repatriated.

    >‘Putin knows no humanity’

    >The kidnapping of Ukrainian children has been raised many times on Capitol Hill including by senior Democrat Dick Durbin.

    >“War brings out the worst in humans. And Russia, under the bloody leadership of Vladimir Putin, has committed some of the worst wartime atrocities that a mind can imagine,” he said.

    >“But one of the most horrific of these atrocities is Russia’s kidnapping of Ukrainian children… Since Russia’s full-scale war of aggression started in 2022, the government of Russia has abducted, forcibly transferred, or facilitated the illegal deportation of at least 20,000 Ukrainian children.

    >“The depravity of Putin’s strategy is hard to imagine. But Putin and his government know no humanity or morality. It is not surprising that Putin would stoop to such a repulsive strategy.”

    >Trump’s dramatic policy shift on Ukraine

    >The move to scrap the taskforce will be seen as a reflection of the Trump administration’s dramatic policy shift on the war in Ukraine, which was laid bare when Mr Zelensky was thrown out of the White House after clashing with Mr Trump and JD Vance, the vice-president.
    Last year The Telegraph reported that Ukrainian children faced being detained for refusing to adopt Russian citizenship.

    >Activists told The Telegraph that some had been tortured and coerced into admitting non-existent crimes.

    >On reaching 18 many were being lost in the Russian prison system.

    >The mass abduction of children has been cited in the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, his “children’s rights commissioner”.

    >Both the White House and State Department have been approached for comment.

  2. But we’ve been told that Republicans care so much about children. Well we know that’s a lie.

  3. Disgusting to think what these people are doing to the missing children of Ukraine.

  4. Jesus fucking Christ…. Fuck Elon musk… deserves everything he gets… the cunt

  5. So killing this most worthy effort is going to balance the budget Elon?

    Elon Musk, the anti- Schindler.

    Elon could afford to fund this humanitarian out of pocket without noticing the difference in his wealth, but no.

  6. Leon Muskovite, what a complete degenerate and oxygen thief

  7. I was going to say that Musk doesn’t care about kidnapped Ukrainian children, but I think they may not give him enough credit. There’s a decent chance that he approves of it.

  8. Why was a private university being given millions of dollars from the feds to find children lost by Zelensky’s own Ukrainian program…? If the U.S. had true interest in aiding the repatriation of these “children”, why is money being outsourced (funneled) to a private institution and not using the vast network of established, already-being-paid-for FBI/CIA/MIC/Political intel to find and reunite said kids. Something smells of corruption under the guise of altruistic benevolence.

  9. What have these children ever done for the US? Sis they ever say “thank you” once? They obviously don’t have the cards.

  10. I didn’t think it was possible to dislike him any less…..

  11. Elon needs them for his own island, picking up where Jeffrey left off.

  12. trump, musk, vance and johnson are heartless bastards just like putin!

  13. My brains just not processing wtf is happening anymore lol

  14. This team would really benefit from an “anonymous” donor. Wish i had the funds. These folks are doing a really important job.

  15. Musk and the nazis, because that’s what they are, supporting him and Trump are all pro-life until they actually have to help “take care” of someone.

    Piece of shit human being.

  16. Well if he went after an actual waste of money, he would not be getting billions of government subsidies and no longer be a giant welfare queen. So it’s obvious he will cut programs like this.

    Honestly guy keeps moving the goalpost every day on how low and scummy someone can be.

  17. he proudly dances to the tune played by the Pied Piper of Pennsylvania Avenue.

    and the music score is written by Putin.

    all of Maga are complicit in this.

    all of them.

  18. Why, oh why couldn’t this dude have stepped on a mine in Namibia?

  19. Fuck DOGE and Muskie. If he cuts Starlink to Ukraine, he will confirm his Nazi/Fascist leanings. As much as I hate him, I hope that he can at least do one thing right and keep Ukrainian Starlinks up and running.

  20. More depth would be beneficial. I would like to know what this group actually did, how much they were budgeted, and if the actually contributed to success. None of this is clear in the article. Maybe they deserve twice the funds they were receiving. However, there is nothing in detail about this specific group, as the only information is about the missing children as a group. Nobody disagrees that the children need all the help they can get. Was Yale University actually helping? Or were they duplicating services offered by another agency?

  21. It’s almost like he wakes up and thinks “How can I be a more evil pos today?” then does whatever his ketamine fueled paranoia demands of him.

  22. Every day it’s a new low. Maybe someone get Elon too….

  23. At this point, we have to think about killing musk. By any means necessary. That man is the biggest detriment to humanity in my lifetime.

  24. Wish Eblon Musk a taste of Russia, please please please
