Details
Today we can talk about a little more than 1,200 children. I am very glad that every day we can increase this number by 1, 2 to 5... yes, these are slow paces, but thanks to our partners, countries that act as mediators, thanks to our public organizations that help and stand shoulder to shoulder with a large state team, every day to carry out these small but very complex child rescue operations
Remind
Ukraine has returned seven children from the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia regions, Crimea and the territory of the Russian Federation within the framework of the Bring Kids Back UA initiative.
