Congregants of an east Charlotte church scattered into the woods Saturday when masked federal agents arrived and detained one of their members, according to witnesses.

About 15 to 20 church members were doing yard work on the property off Albemarle Road while their children played games and their spouses cooked meals. Agents parked just outside a closed gate leading to the church parking lot and ran into the yard, said the pastor, who did not want to identify himself or his church.

The agents asked no questions and showed no identification before taking one man away, whose wife and child were inside at the time, the pastor said. They attempted to grab others, too.

“Right now, everybody is scared. Everybody,” he said. “One of these guys with immigration, he say he was going to arrest one of the other guys in the church. He pushed him.” Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.

Some yard workers fled into the surrounding woods when officials arrived, including 15-year-old Miguel Vazquez. “I thought, ‘Wait, why am I running? I’m a citizen,’” Vazquez said. He was friends with the man who was taken and worries about the family he left behind.

Ukraine has identified about 400 locations in Russia where Russians have transported kidnapped Ukrainian children.

This was reported by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a telegram.

It is estimated that about 19 500 abducted Ukrainian children are currently in the Russian Federation. More than 1 600 children have been returned home.

The deportation of Ukrainian children is one of Russiaʼs war crimes, for which the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Putin and the Russian Childrenʼs Ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova.

Ukraine also has evidence that Belarus is participating in the deportation of Ukrainian children.

In September, researchers found out more than 200 Russian institutions for the "re-education" of Ukrainian children — where they assemble drones and undergo airborne training. In the detention centers, some of the children were involved in the Russian program of forced upbringing and adoption, after which they were transferred to Russian families and granted Russian citizenship.

Several countries, including the UK, Canada, Norway, Finland, Austria, Latvia, Estonia, Switzerland and Sweden are involved in the scheme, which was launched by Andriy Yermak, the Ukrainian president’s chief of staff, reports The Times.

Official figures suggest that 19,546 children have been taken from their homes against their will by Russia since the conflict began. However, earlier this year, a team of experts from Yale University estimated that about 35,000 Ukrainian children listed as missing may be in Russia, or Russian-occupied territories. Some were taken from orphanages, others from their homes, schools, or shelters.
