As part of the initiative of the President of Ukraine Bring Kids Back UA, it was possible to return six more Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories. Among them is a 16-year-old boy. This was announced by the head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak, reports UNN.
Details
It is noted that among them is a 16-year-old boy whose father died after brutal torture by the Russian military. Two more sisters were under threat of removal from the family: at school they were preparing to serve in the Russian army, and the occupiers threatened to take them away from their grandmother and transfer them to a Russian foster family.
Another girl was constantly harassed by Russian soldiers who broke into her house with searches and threatened her with weapons.
Now they are all safe, with their relatives, in the territory controlled by Ukraine. I am grateful to the Save Ukraine team for their assistance in organizing this rescue mission and their dedication to the fight for Ukrainian children.
We remind you
In 2024, thanks to the Bring Kids Back UA initiative, it was possible to return 449 illegally deported Ukrainian children. International partners from Brussels to Mexico are helping Ukraine return children from the occupied territories.
