Three more Ukrainian children were returned last week as part of the initiative of the President of Ukraine Bring Kids Back UA.

This was reported in Telegram by Driia Zarivna, an adviser to the head of the Presidential Office, Ukrinform reports.

“Among them is 5-year-old Ivan, who, after searches and threats from the Russian military, lost his speech and could not even say the word “mom” for more than a year. Svitlana was only a year old when her family was tortured and deprived of their documents - the occupation authorities threatened to take the child to an orphanage. And 13-year-old Oksana was reunited with her mother - her father was afraid that his daughter would be stopped at a checkpoint, so the team was looking for the most reliable route for rescue,” Zarivna said.

She thanked Save Ukraine for its support and assistance in organizing the rescue mission.

“We continue to fight for every child. And we will not stop until all Ukrainian children return home,” said the advisor to the head of the OP.
