It\u2019s estimated there are 20,000 \u2018stolen children\u2019 who have been captured by Russians since the full scale invasion of Ukraine more than two years ago.  

They were taken across the border after their towns were invaded, and their families killed.  

Sean Fleming, Minister of State at the Dept of Foreign Affairs, recently heard first hand accounts from some of the 400 children who\u2019ve been rescued. He joins the show to discuss.
