Reason for
imposing sanctions

Aleksey Talay is the Founder and Head of the Charitable Foundation Aleksey Talay. In this role, he has been responsible for the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children to the Republic of Belarus. Aleksey Talay is one of the key persons involved in the forcible deportation of Ukrainian children to Belarus and their subsequent illegal adoption by Russian and Belarusian families. Aleksey Talay and his foundation have organised and facilitated the movement of children from Ukraine to Belarus and have coordinated with members of Belarus’s regime to facilitate the movement of children from Ukraine to Russia prior to transporting them to Belarus. Under Talay’s leadership, Ukrainian children are ideologically indoctrinated. Children are forced to attend educational programmes which are actively supporting Russian state propaganda, publicly denying Ukraine’s right to statehood and calling for the “denazification” as well as the “de-Ukrainisation” of the country and promoting the idea that Ukraine should be an integral part of Russia. His actions violate the rights of Ukrainian children and infringe Ukrainian law and administrative order. Therefore, Aleksey Talay is responsible for implementing actions and policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.
