As part of the Ukrainian President’s Bring Kids Back UA initiative, four children who had been trapped under Russian occupation have been successfully returned home.
This was announced on Telegram by Head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak, as reported by Ukrinform.
“Each rescued child has endured their own story of resistance. A 17-year-old boy openly opposed Russification, demonstrating unwavering loyalty to Ukraine despite life-threatening risks. A pair of 15-year-old twins, thanks to their grandfather’s courage and resilience, managed to avoid forced education in Russian propaganda-filled schools. Meanwhile, a 10-year-old boy who lost his parents in an attack was at risk of being sent to an orphanage, but his grandmother succeeded in saving him,” Yermak shared.
Yermak expressed gratitude to the Save Ukraine team for organizing the rescue mission and their dedication to bringing Ukrainian children back home.
“Every successful return is a step toward justice and renewed hope. We will not stop until every Ukrainian child is safe. Step by step, we are fulfilling the President’s mission to bring all our children home to Ukraine,” he emphasized.
Earlier, on February 6, eight Ukrainian children who had been illegally deported to temporarily occupied Crimea were also successfully brought back to Ukraine.
