With the help of the Ministry of Reintegration, a child who had been separated from his family for almost two years was returned to Ukraine from the occupied Zaporizhzhia region.

Another child who remained on the territory of the temporarily occupied part of Zaporizhzhia region has been returned to Ukraine. This is reported by the press service of the Ministry of Reintegration, UNN writes.

Details 

Another child is returned from the temporarily occupied territory with the participation of the Ministry of Reintegration.... After almost two years apart, the family was reunited. The return took place within the framework of the "Way Home" project

- the ministry said.

The ministry said that in December last year , a woman named Maria turned to the Ministry of Reintegration. She asked for help in returning her young daughter from the temporarily occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia region.

It is noted that at the time of the outbreak of full-scale war, the girl was staying with her grandparents there. They could not leave immediately because her grandmother was seriously ill. There was no way to transport her. It was also risky for the parents to take the girl alone.

Eventually, when her grandmother passed away, Maria turned to the Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine for help.
