Two thousand Ukrainian children have already been returned from under control of the aggressor state

Within the Bring Kids Back UA initiative, 2,000 Ukrainian children have already returned home from under Russian control.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on the evening of February 17.

“Each of these returns became possible thanks to the daily work of our people, civil organizations, and international partners. We are grateful to everyone involved in this struggle for the future of our children, our country, and the entire free world.

We still have a long and difficult path ahead. Thousands of Ukrainian children remain hostages of Russia, becoming victims of its crimes daily. But we will not stop until we return every Ukrainian child”, — Zelensky said.

Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets noted:

“More than 1.6 million Ukrainian children remain in temporarily occupied territories — under pressure, propaganda, and attempts to erase their identity. There, the education system has been turned into an instrument of ideological influence. Children are being isolated from Ukraine, from the language, from the truth”.
