Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, thousands of Ukrainian children have been taken and held in Russian control territory.

The new report accusing Russia of abducting thousands of Ukrainian children in a massive re-education effort to

support Putin's aims. The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants

for Vladimir Putin and his Children's Commissioner accusing them of war crimes over the unlawful deportation of children from Ukraine.

Children of Ukraine is a new documentary from Frontline, examining the plate of these children.

Do you remember what happened when you were in the car,

when the loud gun shots happened?

Paul Kenyan directed and produced the film.

In Ukraine, he met families desperate for answers in teens

who escape Russian custody and he followed investigators as they worked to

track down missing children and document what happened.

We're still hoping to bring them back home.

They are still our children.
