Seven children taken by Russians to Crimea for "rehabilitation" return to Kherson region

Seven children were returned to the Kherson region after being forcibly taken to occupied Yevpatoria by Russian invaders.

The Kherson Regional Military Administration (RMA) reported this on Telegram, Ukrinform says.

"Seven children from the Kherson region, who had been separated from their families for almost six months, have finally arrived in their land liberated from the enemy," the statement reads.

As noted in the post, back in October 2022, Russian invaders forcibly sent young Ukrainians to Yevpatoria, allegedly for "rehabilitation" in a children's camp.
