THE HAGUE — Prosecutors investigating war crimes cases in Ukraine are examining allegations of the forcible deportation of children to Russia since the invasion as they seek to build a genocide indictment, the country’s top prosecutor said in an interview. Russia in the past has said that it is offering humanitarian aid to those wishing to flee Ukraine voluntarily. Russia has strongly denied that its forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine and has in turn accused Ukrainian troops of atrocities, including mistreatment of prisoners of war. She said that any perpetrators should then be tried at the International Criminal Court, the world’s permanent war crimes tribunal.
