“While Kremlin officials argue that they are “saving” the children by removing them from their homes, international watchdogs have called the forcible removal of Ukrainian kids — including infants as young as four months old — a war crime.”

    All of these are valid points, but you can omit the “the” when talking about Ukraine. “The Ukraine” is quite an archaic expression and has been a major talking point for several years now to just call the country “Ukraine”. There’s a similar problem in Ukrainian and Russian where people are encouraged to adjust their language too.
