CWN Editor's Note: “Children have been transported to Russia without consent from their parents and turned ideologically against Ukraine and their own families,” said Auxiliary Bishop Jan Sobilo of Kharkiv-Zaporizhzhia. (Kharkiv, located in northeastern Ukraine, is the nation’s second-largest city.)
