Russian military aggression against Ukraine violates the most fundamental international agreements, while forcible transfer and deportation of Ukrainian children constitutes a form of genocide. Forcible transfer and deportation occur by force in exceptional circumstances created by the aggressor state, in which the child had no other choice than to accept the transfer, or the transfer takes place in the absence of parental consent or the parental consent is forged. This paper aims to analyse the forcible transfer of Ukrainian children in the context of the definition of the crime of genocide. Based on calculations using the STELLA model, it will prove that the forcible transfer of Ukrainian children is an attempt to erase their Ukrainian national identity.
