Relating to: condemning the actions of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, including the illegal abduction and forcible transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia.
This Wisconsin legislative resolution (SJR 103) condemns Russia's abduction and forcible transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia, citing violations of international law under the Genocide Convention. It specifically states that Russia's actions - including forced adoptions, re-education programs, and policies like declaring children born in occupied Ukraine as Russian citizens - aim to erase Ukrainian identity and culture. The resolution declares these acts constitute genocide and holds Russia's government responsible, while noting increased risks of child exploitation due to the invasion. As a symbolic resolution, it has no legal force but formally expresses the legislature's stance against Russia's actions.
