The reason Ukraine initially gave Russia a list of only 339 names of abducted children, despite identifying the number of total verified cases as exceeding 19,000, was as a confidence-building measure and a test of Russia's good faith. Here are the key points of the strategy, according to Ukrainian officials: Confidence-Building: In diplomatic practice, providing a smaller, focused list is a limited but measurable step intended to test whether the opposing party is willing to act in good faith and create a basis for further agreements. Testing Intentions: Ukrainian officials stated they were using the list to see if Russia was genuinely prepared to engage on the humanitarian track and allow the return of the children. They wanted to see a complete and meaningful response to this initial, manageable group of cases. Avoidance of Politicization/Prolongation: One source indicated that Kyiv's intent was to prevent Moscow from prolonging the process and potentially further "erasing the identities" of a much larger group of deported children by being overwhelmed with a list of nearly 20,000 names at once. Ukrainian officials confirmed that they have officially verified the identities of over 19,000 children who have been forcibly deported or transferred to Russia, but they chose to start the official negotiation process for returns with a smaller, initial list. They have also refuted Russian claims that the list of 339 names was "fully processed," stating that Russia's response was fragmented and partial.
