Another group of children abducted by Russia return to Ukraine

This was reported on Telegram by the Head of the Office of the President, Andriy Yermak, according to Ukrinform.

“For years, they lived under pressure and fear. The occupiers forced them to attend Russian schools, threatened and humiliated their parents,” Yermak said.

He noted that among those rescued was a mother with two sons who had been deported to Russia and deprived of their Ukrainian documents. The family was left without the necessities of life—money, clothing, food. They tried twice to return home on their own. Only on the third attempt and with the help of Bring Kids Back UA partners did the family manage to escape.

A child with a disability, who had been forced to live in the occupied territory for years without proper treatment and necessary medication, also returned home. Today, she is with her mother, safe and under the care of Ukrainian doctors.

The Head of the Office of the President expressed his gratitude to the team of the Office of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights and all international partners for their help in rescuing Ukrainian children.

As reported by Ukrinform, at the end of August, a group of children aged 3 to 17 were returned from the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region to the territory controlled by Ukraine, including a boy who had been illegally sent to a military camp by the Russians without his mother's consent.
