It could well be true. If you evacuate from Russian held territory you have to go to (via filtration camps) to Russia, often to unappealing remote villages, to solve Russia's demographic crisis.

Unaccompanied/orphaned children are also often sent for adoption to places like this in Russia , rather than being placed with family in other parts of Ukraine, also to solve the problem of an ageing Russian population (under the pretence of so-called denazification).
