The MP said that Russia is currently refusing to cooperate with international organizations on the return of Ukrainian children. However, the Global Peace Summit gave a powerful impetus to the discussion of the return of all Ukrainian prisoners of war, civilian hostages and children deported by Russia, the politician said.

The final communiqué was signed, which increases pressure on the aggressor country and involves even more states in the return of Ukrainian citizens.
