"Another group of children who had been living in temporarily occupied communities of the Kherson region has been brought back to Ukrainian-controlled territory," he wrote.

They are now safe. This was made possible through the implementation of President Volodymyr Zelensky's initiative “Bring Kids Back UA” and the support of Save Ukraine.

As Prokudin emphasized, the children are currently undergoing rehabilitation, receiving psychological assistance, restoring their documents, and once again have the opportunity to study and make plans for the future.

As previously reported by Ukrinform, as of August 12, 2025, a total of 117 children have been evacuated from the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region since the beginning of the year.
