Washington, D.C.—Today, U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), an active member of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus and Helsinki Commission, denounced the Trump regime’s shocking complicity in the trafficking of Ukrainian children and retaliation against researchers who revealed this latest outrage. A newly released report by the Humanitarian Research Lab at Yale University revealed the direct involvement of Russian oil companies Rosneft and Gazprom in the trafficking of Ukrainian children—two companies that Trump recently lifted sanctions on. According to the report, 2,000 Ukrainian children were taken to Russian reeducation camps owned by Rosneft and Gazprom subsidiaries. In response to the report, the Trump regime withheld Congressionally-approved funding for the Humanitarian Research Lab’s efforts tracking kidnapped children—funds that were secured under the leadership of Rep. Doggett.
