A family with three children has been returned from the occupied Donetsk region to the territory controlled by Ukraine. The initiative of the President of Ukraine Bring Kids Back UA helped the family, which had been threatened by the occupiers, to leave safely.

Three children and their mother were returned to the territory controlled by Ukraine as part of the initiative of the President of Ukraine Bring Kids Back UA. This was announced by the head of the OP Andriy Yermak, reports UNN.

"For more than a year, the family lived under occupation, where the children were forced to study in a Russian school. The mother received constant threats from the occupation authorities, in particular, she was threatened to send the children to a boarding school. This forced the family to decide to leave the temporarily occupied Donetsk region for the territory controlled by the Government of Ukraine," the statement said.
