This event was preceded by the hard work of many services. These are the Office of the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada for Human Rights, the Ministry for the Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories, the Save Ukraine organisation, the Ukrainian Network for the Rights of the Child and many others.

These are children who were illegally detained in the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson Oblast. Among them are six kids who are deprived of parental care. Five have families. We were waiting to bring back each and every one of them."

Details: The Oblast Military Administration reported that "the smallest child is 2 years old, the oldest is 16."

The Ukrainian authorities promised that the work to bring Ukrainian children back to their homeland would continue.
