Recent funding cuts by the Trump administration have halted various initiatives aimed at tracking the abduction of Ukrainian children by Russia and investigating alleged war crimes. Reports indicate that access to crucial evidence may have been lost following the termination of a program led by Yale to document the deportation of Ukrainian children. Lawmakers are expressing outrage, calling for answers and demanding the restoration of funding to the programs that were halted. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has also ceased the funding for a team working to locate these kidnapped children, further complicating efforts to tackle this pressing humanitarian issue. As concerns grow, the U.S. State Department has denied claims of deleting data related to these abductions and war crimes.
