Ukraine has returned three more children from the Russian-occupied territories, and "they are already safe, waiting for recovery and return to normal life," Mykola Kuleba, former Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights and founder of Save Ukraine, said in a statement, according to RFE/RL.
Three more children returned to Ukraine from Russia and occupied areas
Kuleba noted that this marked the 14th rescue mission by the organization, during which they successfully reunited 14 children with their families, seven of whom had been deprived of parental care.
"We had to act, because if a child stays in Russia without parental care for six months, he or she is granted a status that allows them to be placed with a Russian family or choose another way of placement. So our team did everything possible to ensure that the mother received the necessary medical care and was able to take the child from the occupied territory," Kuleba explained.
