Funds to help find kidnapped children? Nah, cut it!
A taskforce which helped find hundreds of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia has been scrapped by Elon Musk’s Doge.
The Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL), which was based at Yale University is the latest organisation to fall victim to the tech billionaire’s evisceration of the federal budget.
It is estimated that more than 20,000 Ukrainian children have been kidnapped by the Russians since the 2022 invasion.
“Researchers at the Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) were notified recently that government funding for their work on the war in Ukraine has been discontinued,” a Yale spokesman said.
