Whats the deal with this?
Is Russia planning to brainwash them and send them back once they are voting adults or what
Some are put up for adoption so Russian families can take them and some are raised in state orphanages. Russia has a demographic problem and would like more young white children and also by removing children from Ukraine, it creates a population bomb in Ukraine where Ukraine's population will drastically fall in future which makes them weaker so Russia has less future issues with them when trying to take over. There are a number of other effects, stealing Ukraine's children is stealing Ukraine's future economy and the country will not just have a smaller population in future but also a smaller economy and the people will be poorer, just like Russia wants
As for brainwashing, all Russian children go through brainwashing in their state education schools, so they don't need to do anything special for these children, just send them to any Russian school and they will get brainwashing lessons as part of the standard curriculum
You may question why stealing the children of your enemies is a good idea, but Russia can write textbooks in colonisation, they have the process down pat and are experts at it. They are playing the long game here and their colonisation process has been used to subjugate dozens of populations in the last few hundred years
