Ukraine returned 14 more children/"Save Ukraine"
The “Save Ukraine” charity managed to successfully bring home 14 more children from Russia and the temporarily occupied territories. Among the rescued are two children deprived of parental care.
The organization announced this on its Facebook page. In total, the “Save Ukraine” team has already returned to Ukraine 373 children who were deported or found themselves in the occupation.
The head of Save Ukraine, Mykola Kuleba, also told the story of two teenage girls, Alisa and Milana. Russian tanks shelled their houses, so they and their families hid and slept in damp basements for a long time. Before their eyes, the occupiers conducted searches, interrogated their parents and threatened them due to the lack of Russian documents.
It is not easy to save every child, so every successful attempt is a small victory on the way to our joint great victory over the enemy, added the head of Save Ukraine.
In addition to organizing the safe return of children, the organization also provides assistance in adaptation after experienced injuries. They provide psychological support and necessary rehabilitation for children affected by war and occupation.
European Parliament In 2023, he reported that the number of Ukrainian children illegally deported to Russia could reach 300,000. The MEPs believe that the Russians started taking away Ukrainian children as early as 2014 – since the occupation of Crimea and parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
