Ukraine managed to evacuate seven more children with their families from the occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.
Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets reports this.
According to Lubinets, some families endured true terror during the occupation and saw firsthand the Russians pillaging homes belonging to locals. They were compelled to obtain Russian passports, and the children had to study at school according to the canons of the "Russian world."
In addition, the Russians could mobilize teenage boys who would soon come of age for the war.
"The parents of the children announced in our Center for the Protection of Children's Rights that the prospects for the future at the temporarily occupied territories do not fit into the future vision of their families' lives, so they decided to leave for the territory controlled by Ukraine," wrote Lubinets.
For reference:
As Rubryka previously reported, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, almost 1,806 children have been affected, including 537 minors who have died; more than 1,269 children have received injuries of various degrees of severity.
Ukraine and Canada launched the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children.
The Save Ukraine team successfully brought back 17-year-old Mykyta, who was taken to Russia by the Russian invaders when they began their full-scale invasion, to Ukraine's controlled territory.
