上个月，三名来自饱受战争蹂躏的乌克兰的女性抵达国会山，向国会领导人发出呼吁：请帮助我们从俄罗斯手中救出我们的孩子。
Three women from war-torn Ukraine arrived on Capitol Hill last month to issue a plea to congressional leaders: Help us rescue our children from Russia.
她们表示，自乌克兰与俄罗斯战争爆发初期以来，她们已经大约四年没有见过自己的亲人了。这些亲人当时在乌克兰南部地区赫尔松一所针对重度残疾学生的学校中失踪，而该地区后来被俄罗斯占领。
They said they haven’t seen their loved ones in roughly four years, since the early months of their country’s war with Russia, who disappeared from a school for students with severe disabilities in the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson after Russia’s occupation of the area.
埃米尔基金会的一份新报告称，正是俄罗斯当局带走了她们已成年的子女。这家人道主义组织表示，他们已帮助50名乌克兰儿童返回家园，并为团聚的家庭提供支持。目前，该组织认为他们已经找到了从这所学校被带走的多打孩子。
A new report from the Emile Foundation says it was Russian authorities that took their adult children. The humanitarian organization — which says it has helped return 50 Ukrainian children and provides support to reunified families — now believes it has located dozens taken from the school.
埃米尔基金会的报告指出，俄罗斯方面于2022年秋季分批次转移了这些居民。基金会表示，他们结合使用了文件证据、对家人和目击者的采访、卫星图像以及人脸识别技术，重建了这些被带走者在乌克兰被占领土内，甚至在某些情况下被转移至俄罗斯境内的活动轨迹。MS NOW尚未独立核实该报告的内容。
The Emile report says the Russians transferred the residents in groups in the fall of 2022. The foundation says it used a combination of documentary evidence, interviews with family and witnesses, satellite images and facial recognition technology to reconstruct the movements of those taken across the occupied territories in Ukraine and — in some cases — into Russia itself. MS NOW has not independently verified the contents of the report.
2025年9月29日，在乌克兰日托米尔，汉娜·扎米什利亚耶娃手持一部显示其儿子安东·沃尔科维奇照片的手机，正在拍摄肖像照。托马斯·彼得 / 路透社“最终目标是根除乌克兰的民族认同、文化和历史，”埃米尔联合会的联合创始人兼首席执行官玛丽亚姆·兰伯特说道。她率领该组织的代表团前往华盛顿特区。“要怎么做呢？直接针对最脆弱的人群：儿童和残障人士。”
Hanna Zamyshliaieva poses for a portrait while holding a phone displaying a picture of her son Anton Volkovych on Sept. 29, 2025, in Zhytomyr, Ukraine. Thomas Peter / Reuters “The ultimate goal is to eradicate the Ukrainian identity, the culture, the history,” said Mariam Lambert, co-founder and CEO of the Emile Foundation, who led the group’s delegation to Washington, D.C. “How do you do that? You go straight to the most vulnerable people: children and adults with disabilities.”
基金会表示，这两名女性两天内在国会山与五名议员以及另外两个国会办公室举行了多场会谈。在向美国官员讲述她们的故事时，她们希望引起人们对亲人困境的关注，并帮助组织国际支持，以实现最终的团聚。
The foundation says the women took a series of meetings with five lawmakers and two additional congressional offices across two days on the Hill. In telling their stories to American officials, they hoped to raise awareness for their loved ones’ plight and help organize international support for eventual reunions.
“我们只需要一条途径，一个第三国中介，将这些儿童安全送回他们的家人身边，”兰伯特说。
“We just need a pathway, a third country intermediary to return those children safely to their families,” Lambert said.
参议员和工作人员在与这些母亲的会面中都明显被感动。会议结束后，当被问及他们能做些什么来帮助时，来自明尼苏达州的民主党参议员艾米·克洛布彻和来自康涅狄格州的参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔都表示，他们将利用自己的职位，让公众持续关注这一问题。
Senators and staff alike were visibly moved in their sitdowns with the mothers. Asked after their meetings what they could do to help, Democratic Sens. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut both talked about using their positions to keep the public’s attention on the issue.
亚利桑那州民主党参议员鲁本·加列戈表示，他和他同僚或许能够帮助开辟一条让失踪者返回的通道。
Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., suggested he and his colleagues may be able to help forge that pathway to return the missing.
“我们可能知道一些国家，我们——我们当中的一些人——与这些国家有着良好的关系，”他说。“我们可以问他们，比如：‘你们能去和这些俄罗斯人谈谈吗？’”埃米尔基金会的一位发言人告诉MS NOW，该组织计划以立法者的名义起草一封信，请求特朗普政府帮助为这些失踪者开辟一条回家之路。这封信还将向政府官员提供一份名单，上面列有基金会认为已经找到的失踪者姓名。
“There might be some countries that we know that we have good – some of us have good relationships with,” he said. “We could ask them, like, ‘Can you go and talk to these Russians?’”An Emile Foundation spokesperson told MS NOW the organization plans to draft a letter on behalf of lawmakers that would ask the Trump administration for help in creating a pathway home for the disappeared people. The letter would offer officials a list of names of those the foundation believes they’ve located.
2026年9月17日，在国会山布卢门撒尔办公室的一次会面中，左边的参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔正在与汉娜·扎米什利亚耶娃交谈。汉娜身穿一件印有其子安东·沃尔科维奇照片的衬衫。
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, left, speaks with Hanna Zamyshliaieva, who wears a shirt with a photo of her son Anton Volkovych during a meeting in Blumenthal’s office on Capitol Hill on Sept. 17, 2026.
在接受MS NOW采访时，这三位女性描述了多年来等待亲人消息时所经历的痛苦。
In interviews with MS NOW, the three women describe the agony of waiting for years for any information about their loved ones.
“你会一直、一直、一直想着她，但什么也做不了。你无法改变任何事，”拉里萨·布拉尼茨卡说。报告称，她的孙女玛丽娜在23岁时被带走。“你的内心一切都天翻地覆，”她说。
“You think, think, think about her, but you can’t move anything. You can’t change anything,” Larysa Branytska said. The report says her granddaughter, Marina, was removed at 23 years old. “Everything is turning upside down in your soul,” she said.
在转移之前，汉娜·扎米什利亚耶娃面临着一个艰难的选择：她可以选择从机构中救出儿子安东，或者先撤离另外两个孩子。
Hanna Zamyshliaieva faced a terrible choice before the transfers. She could rescue her son Anton from the facility, or evacuate her other two children first.
她决定先确保其他两个孩子安全，因为她相信还有时间返回去接安东。但这个机会最终再也没有到来。
She decided to get the others to safety, believing she’d have time to return for Anton. But that chance never came.
“如果得不到他所需的照顾，那对他来说还不如不活，真的，因为他会承受巨大的痛苦，大脑里会充满剧痛，”扎米什利亚耶娃说。
“If he doesn’t receive the care he needs, it would be better for him not to be alive, really, because he would be hurting so much, there would be so much pain in his brain,” Zamyshliaieva said.
《埃米尔报告》中提到的儿童，只是乌克兰失踪青少年群体中的一部分——耶鲁人道主义研究实验室估计，至少有3.5万名乌克兰儿童被俄罗斯暂时或永久拘押。
The children in the Emile report represent a much larger cohort of missing Ukrainian youth — the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab estimates at least 35,000 children from Ukraine are either temporarily or permanently in Russian custody.
俄罗斯驻华盛顿大使馆并未回应MS NOW就《埃米尔报告》发现内容提出的置评请求。此前，俄罗斯官员曾否认强行带走乌克兰儿童的指控，称他们出于安全考虑，自愿将民众从战区撤离。
The Russian Embassy in Washington did not respond to MS NOW’s request for comment about the findings in the Emile report. In the past, Russian officials have denied claims they took Ukrainian children involuntarily, saying they have evacuated people voluntarily from the war zone for safety reasons.
但耶鲁人道主义研究实验室在去年发布的一份报告中发现，至少有210处设施被用于安置被带走的乌克兰儿童。报告指出，超过60%的设施对乌克兰青少年进行了再教育，至少18%的设施还实施了军事化训练。该实验室认为，克里姆林宫管理着所有这些地点中超过一半。
But in a report published last year, the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab found at least 210 facilities to which Ukrainian children have been taken. The report says more than 60% of those facilities saw Ukrainian youth subjected to re-education, as well as militarization in at least 18%. The lab believes the Kremlin manages more than half of all the sites.
上个月，总统唐纳德·特朗普签署了一项新的两党制裁方案，针对俄罗斯经济。这项法案的通过，也追认了其已故盟友——南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的功绩，他与布伦特哈尔共同起草了该法案。
Last month, President Donald Trump signed a new bipartisan sanctions package targeting Russia’s economy. It was a posthumous feather in the cap of Trump’s late ally, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who co-wrote the bill with Blumenthal.
美国国务院发言人告诉MS NOW，该部门计划提供2500万美元的新援助，用于帮助识别、遣返和康复被带走的乌克兰儿童。
A U.S. State Department spokesperson told MS NOW the department plans to provide $25 million in new assistance to help identify, return and rehabilitate removed Ukrainian children.
当被问及是否还希望再次见到孙女时，布拉尼茨卡微笑着低头看了看自己印着玛丽娜照片的衬衫。“会的，会的，会的，”她说，“我会一直等她回来。”
Asked if she has hope she’ll see her granddaughter again, Branytska smiled and looked down at her shirt — emblazoned with Marina’s picture. “Yes, yes, yes,” she said. “I’ll wait until she comes back.”
