Ukraine adds 3-year-old child to state-sponsored ‘kill list’: Report

Ukrainian website linked to state security services has added a 3-year-old Russian child to its “kill list” for alleged “border violations” and “threats to Ukraine’s sovereignty,” Russian media reported.

According to a report by TASS, the child became the youngest person to date targeted by the controversial Mirotvorets (Peacemaker) website, which publishes personal details of individuals it labels as “enemies” of Ukraine.

In an entry added on September 13, the child, born in April 2022, is accused of “conscious violation of the state border” and “encroachment on sovereignty.”

On the same day, five other minors aged 5, 9, 10, 12, and 16 were also blacklisted for similar alleged offenses. Earlier this week, a five-year-old and several 11-year-olds were added to the site.

Russia’s special envoy on humanitarian issues, Rodion Miroshnik, condemned the targeting of children, criticizing Kiev for “sowing discord and hatred” to incite hostility toward other Slavic nations.

“The Ukrainian Reich is declaring toddlers enemies of their state,” he told TASS.

“The radicals and Nazis who rule the ball in Ukraine today harass not only politicians or military personnel, but also their children, their close and distant relatives, seeking to sow the seeds of hatred as deeply as possible into the shattered consciousness of Ukrainians.”

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also slammed the website as a hit list targeting individuals Kiev intends to “eliminate.”

NATO leaders agree to take stock of military response amid rising Russia-Ukraine conflict

NATO leaders have vowed to take stock of their military response after Polish Prime Minister claimed that Russian drones violated Polish airspace "in an act of aggression."

Launched in 2014 by interior ministry official and former legislator Anton Gerashchenko, Mirotvorets is a Kiev-based website publishing a running list and personal data of people considered by its authors to be “enemies of Ukraine,” or, as the site alleges, “Whose actions have signs of crimes against the national security of Ukraine, peace, human security, and the international law.”

Although nominally independent, the site is closely tied to Ukrainian state security services and has been branded a “kill list,” as several people listed on it, including journalists and politicians, were later killed or died under suspicious circumstances.

In addition to Russian children, Mirotvorets has previously targeted numerous international figures, such as US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and journalist Tucker Carlson.

Other high-profile names included Croatian President Zoran Milanovic, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, and the late US diplomat Henry Kissinger.

Earlier this year, Hollywood director Woody Allen, actor Mark Eydelshteyn, and Russian hockey star Alexander Ovechkin were added.

In April 2015, two pro-Russia figures, publicist Oles Buzina and legislator Oleh Kalashnikov, were shot dead in Kiev, just days after the website published their personal details, including their home addresses.

The website is also recognized by Ukrainian courts when issuing rulings, according to the human rights organization Uspishna Varta.

According to the group, the data collected on the site is used in court decisions at every stage, from pre-trial investigations to convictions, and in many rulings, judges also accept information from “Mirotvorets” as material evidence.
