“During a recent hearing before the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, U.S.
lawmakers blasted the Trump administration's decision to lift sanctions on
Russian oil giants Gazprom and Rosneft — companies now accused of aiding the
mass abduction of Ukrainian children.
"One thing that we should not do is abet Russia's crimes. But shockingly, it
appears that we are," said Representative James P. McGovern, citing evidence
from the newly published Yale Humanitarian Research Lab report. "Camps owned or
sponsored by these companies are where these children are subject to
reeducation and pro-Russia indoctrination. This means anyone — even Americans —
who consumes Russian oil is subsidizing a war crime."
The Yale report, released March 25, reveals that Gazprom and Rosneft played a
functional role in the state-sponsored relocation and indoctrination of
Ukrainian youth. Between 2022 and 2025, these state-backed entities utilized
corporate resources and subsidiary-owned facilities to forcibly move and
"reeducate" over 2,100 children from occupied regions, including Ukraine's
Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.
McGovern's testimony underscored a deepening hypocrisy in U.S. foreign policy:
while Washington publicly condemns Moscow's atrocities, its recent maneuvers
risk financing them.”
