Children returned from temporarily occupied territories: large group arrives safely in Ukraine

This was announced on Telegram by the head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, according to Ukrinform. 

“During the years of occupation, they experienced oppression, coercion, and the imposition of Russian propaganda, but today they are safe and receiving the necessary assistance in Ukraine,” the head of the Presidential Office noted.

According to him, among the returned children are sisters whom the Russians tried to take to a boarding school after their mother's death, and children who were forced to sing the Russian anthem and participate in propaganda meetings with Russian military personnel.

They also managed to return a teenager who, despite health problems, was registered for military service, and whose mother was humiliated for refusing to send her children to militarized events.

As the head of the Presidential Office noted, today they are all receiving support, including document restoration, psychological rehabilitation, and assistance in starting a new life of freedom.

Yermak expressed his gratitude to the Save Ukraine team and all partners for their help in rescuing these children.

As reported by Ukrinform, a 17-year-old teenager was returned from the territory temporarily occupied by Russia as part of the Ukrainian President's Bring Kids Back UA initiative.
