War crimes are no big deal to Trump, as long as Sweet Daddy Vlad is the aggressor.
https://www.scrippsnews.com/ukraines-stolen-orphans/us-cuts-funding-for-probe-into-russias-forced-deportation-of-ukrainian-childrenA critical investigation into Russia's forced deportation of Ukrainian children, a key issue in any negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, has been disrupted after the Trump administration defunded a State Department contract with Yale University researchers.
The Yale Humanitarian Research Lab had uncovered extensive evidence supporting war crimes charges against Russia, alleging that thousands of Ukrainian children were forcibly taken and placed with Russian families. The evidence was used to charge Russian President Vladimir Putin with international crimes.
Scripps News has learned that the data, which was set to be transferred to the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation, is now in limbo. Concerns are growing over the fate of the information, which is reportedly stored on secret State Department servers.
