Musk stripped funding from a team that rescued Ukrainian children taken out of Russia

The Yale University team that helped rescue hundreds of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia has had to suspend its work because Ilon Musk stopped funding it. About this writes Mirror.

As the newspaper points out, until now, the US government has provided funding for a group of researchers from the Humanitarian Research Laboratory at Yale University. They used open-source technology to track missing children and passed the data to the Ukrainian authorities to help bring the children home.

Thanks to their efforts, hundreds of children have been returned to their families, but this work will now be suspended due to recent federal funding cuts initiated by Ilon Musk," the newspaper said.

According to official Ukrainian government information, nearly 20,000 children have been abducted since the Russian invasion in 2022, with another 1,700 reported missing. It was for this crime that the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin and Russian children's commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova in 2023.

Only 1,227 children have been returned, although Russia continues to obstruct the process in every possible way.
