Do you really believe fewer than 200 children placed in foster care, most of whom have returned home now that the frontline has moved, have any significance on mass migration statistics?

Fewer than 200?

From the first line of the wikipedia entry:

During the Russo-Ukrainian War,[3] Russia has forcibly transferred almost 20,000 Ukrainian children to areas under its control, assigned them Russian citizenship, forcibly adopted them into Russian families, and created obstacles for their reunification with their parents and homeland.[7][8] The United Nations has stated that these deportations constitute war crimes.[8][9] The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for President of Russia Vladimir Putin[10] (who has explicitly supported the forced adoptions, including by enacting legislation to facilitate them)[1] and Children's Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova for their alleged involvement.[10]

Sure, you can find Ukrainian media saying almost all children have been abducted, abused and genocided by Russia but they've been saying they're gonna collapse at the hand of a single pilot from week one so I'm gonna need actual evidence.

After years of accusations, Ukraine has produced a list of some 500 children, most of whom were with family in other parts of Europe.

If they did, you would have linked to that and it would have been plastered all over the internet. What do you think?
