Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov invited Ukrainian parents to “collect their children” taken from Ukraine amid the ongoing war.
As a parent, how could you say no?
You could say no because if you don’t make it there on your way and back home safe, you forever lost your chance to be together again.
I understand your of course, this is inhuman in an endless list of ways and manipulates parents like a fine fiddle.
Maybe send Mom in case they try to draft Dad.
they can do worse things to mom
edit: please stop trying to guess the worse things, I don’t want to read this
Eh, I’m sure theyll deny giving little Alexander a sibling.

That is exactly what makes this ‘invite’ from Lavrov so fucking insidious.
Because it makes it look like you don’t care about your children if you don’t. It’s a yet another weapon deployed by a side that are constantly firing all kinds of weapons.
Not so much looking like a bad parent. Maybe feeling like bad parent. I mean, I don’t know that I could pass it up, if there was even a tiny chance to get them back. The guilt of not going would probably drive me to dark places.
But there is no chance. Lavrov has done nothing but talk complete and utter shit from day one. It’s his job as Putin’s lap dog. To create sound bites that Russian supporters can latch on to.
He knows he’s talking pure shit, everyone with an actual brain knows he is. He doesn’t care that the world laughs at him when he moves his mouth. Because that’s not who he’s speaking to.
He’s speaking to the Tucker Carlson/Fox News/GB News/other nation’s equivalent type troglodytes who think that Russia are doing the right thing and blah blah blah.
It’s all propaganda.
Imagine if Goebbels told you, as a Jew that if you wanted your kids back all you had to do was travel to Berlin. Pinky promise! Of course you wouldn’t even give it a second to consider. You would know it was complete bullshit.
It’s not about you, it’s about the image. In a month they’ll be screaming “see! Ukrainians don’t want their kids back! Ukraine bad!!!”. They’ll silently lock up anyone who actually goes and try to spin it to their advantage.
as a neighbor of russia, how could you trust a single word a russian says?
You absolutely can’t. But as a parent, I would want to take any chance to see my child again.
