MOSCOW - A Kremlin official involved in what international prosecutors call the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia was associated online as a teenager with white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements, Reuters has found.
Ms Lvova-Belova has denied committing any war crime. She has said vulnerable children were taken to Russia to shelter them from violence and protect them from a leadership in Ukraine that she has described as “fascists” who have allowed “the virus of Nazism” to make a comeback. A London-based private intelligence service called Molfar disclosed publicly in a Jan 3, 2023, report about Russia’s removal of children from Ukraine that Mr Petrov’s Skype handle is wotan_jugend8989. His other online associations to far-right and white supremacist movements have not previously been reported.
The office of Russia’s presidential commissioner for children’s rights did not respond to Reuters questions.A Dec 16, 2022, European Union decision imposing sanctions on Mr Petrov said he is “involved in the illegal transportation of Ukrainian children to Russia and their adoption by Russian families.”
In addition, in 2013 and 2014, Mr Petrov’s VKontakte social media account posted Wotanjugend videos, and he shared an announcement about a Wotanjugend festival.
