Timeline

1979

Yeung also toured the trenches of the Ukrainian 79th Brigade to the east of the city, attended the funeral of a deceased Ukrainian soldier, and spoke to refugees fleeing the conflict.

In late April and early May 2023, Yeung travelled to Moscow to interview Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for unlawful deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia during Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

In the interview, Lvova-Belova refuted claims that Russia forcibly deported Ukrainian children and subjected them to propaganda, saying that the children involved and their parents were Russian-speaking and wanted to be part of Russia.

She also said that what Russia had done was purely out of compassion for the children and no politics or propaganda was involved, with the Ukrainian children brought into Russia reciprocating with gratitude for Russian soldiers who brought them to safety.

The interview was criticized by Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of Office of the President of Ukraine, who described Lvova-Belova's remarks as "cannibalism" and that Russia is a "perfect model of hell".
