Ukraine has successfully rescued six more children from territories temporarily occupied by enemy forces. The children are now safe, according to Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights.
Families with children from the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions have returned to Ukrainian-controlled territory. According to the parents, the occupiers forced their children to attend Russian schools, celebrate enemy holidays, and pressured them to obtain Russian-style documents.
One of the families also reported that Russian forces conducted baseless searches of their home.
"One of the families has already visited the Child Rights Protection Center... Our staff from the Cherkasy regional office assisted the other family," wrote the Ombudsman.
Deportation of children
Since the onset of the full-scale invasion, Russian terrorists have forcibly taken Ukrainian children to Belarus, Crimea, or deep into Russia. This action prompted the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant for dictator Vladimir Putin.
Recently, as reported by Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration (RMA), eight more children were successfully evacuated from the occupied part of the region.
