Today, on February 19, it became known about the successful return of 15 Ukrainian children within the framework of the initiative of the President of Ukraine Bring Kids Back UA.
This was announced by the Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak.
Among those returned is a large family that was under pressure because the mother refused to obtain Russian documents. The occupants forced her children to attend propaganda educational institutions and threatened them with punishment for refusing.
We also managed to return three teenagers who had been served with draft notices by the occupiers. One of them was abducted from his home and forced to sign a contract.
In addition, two young children returned to Ukraine, who, after the death of their mother, ended up in a Russian orphanage. There they were isolated from their families, forced to sing propaganda songs and taught military skills.
“We sincerely thank Save Ukraine for organizing the rescue mission! We are fulfilling the President’s task to return all Ukrainian children home,” said Yermak.
