“Maria Alexeyevna Lvova-Belova (Lvova-Belova) is Russia’s Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights and, working directly under Putin, has led Russia’s efforts to deport thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia. Lvova-Belova’s efforts specifically include the forced adoption of Ukrainian children into Russian families, the so-called ‘patriotic education’ of Ukrainian children, legislative changes to expedite the provision of Russian Federation citizenship to Ukrainian children, and the deliberate removal of Ukrainian children by Russia’s forces. Lvova-Belova was designated pursuant to E.O. 14024 for being or having been a leader, official, senior executive officer, or member of the board of directors of the GoR. Lvova-Belova is also sanctioned by Australia, Canada, the EU, Switzerland, and the UK,” says a list of new US sanctions targets published on the Treasury Department’s website on Thursday. Lvova-Belova is just one of 22 Russians now on the shit list.
There’s quite a few different directions we could go with comparing this cunt (sorry not sorry for using it appropriately here) to American right wingers. The Trump family separation policy, the QAnon shit about trafficking children, the DeSantis obsession with “patriot education,” and just the general affinity much of MAGA World has for Putin’s Russia which will not at all be dented by this horrific state-sanctioned abuse of innocent children caught up in a war.
