US ‘deletes evidence’ of Russia’s kidnapping of Ukrainian children

The Trump administration cut funding to Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab, which was compiling a database of alleged Russian war crimes, including the abduction of an estimated 35,000 children from occupied areas of Ukraine, last month.
Using satellite imagery and other surveillance systems provided through the US government, the Yale researchers were monitoring 116 sites in Russia.
A Yale source said the US state department deleted the evidence which would have been used as part of rescue efforts to get the children home to Ukraine. It would also have been used to prosecute those behind their abductions – including Russian president Vladimir Putin.
“It is unclear whether it was by accident or intent, but it may reveal or it may cause potential criminal liability for the Trump administration, given international prohibitions against the destruction of war crimes evidence,” the Yale insider told The Independent.

Personally I always believe anonymous Yale sources at the "Humanitarian Research Lab" on issues relating to Donald Trump's administration

Cutting funding != deleting evidence

Why would stopping funding to Yale cause them to delete this, if true? It doesn't make any sense.

Off of what? Why was Yale just sitting on this evidence? Did they not save it themselves?

Wild that out of all the other sources of money at Yale, they couldn’t prioritize that effort in spite of the cuts!

So...no off-site backups available from the prestigious Yale university of such important material?
Hmmm......

Saw this earlier
The article doesnt make sense. It doesnt provide any detail on how they claim the US deleted the information or even had a hand in it.
Its nonsense

Sorry but I don’t believe any anonymous sources.

Remember when Obama erased the FBI database of all radical Islamist terrorists because it was racist? Good times.

According to other sources this was a specific contract frozen and then terminated by the State Department. And according to the sources, it was the State Department that deleted whatever data/evidence that had been gathered. Whether by accident or intentionally

More info from State Dept. Denying the deletion of the data:

The spokesperson said the data resides on a platform owned by MITRE, a non-governmental organization that operates research and development centers, according to its website.
"To the best of MITRE’s knowledge and belief, the research data that was compiled has not been deleted and is currently maintained by a former partner on this contract," it said in a statement.

Why is everything that’s ever been on my personal phone or the internet “permanent,” but evidence of actual war crimes isn’t? The Trump administration not only obtained it, but permanently deleted it from all databases.
