Ukraine has brought back another ten children to the controlled territory. They had been in the occupied part of the Kherson region, according to the Telegram channel of the Head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Prokudin.

According to him, the children, along with their parents and guardians, had been living in the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region.

"Fortunately, the children are now on free land. There are seven boys and three girls. The youngest is 3 years old, and the oldest is 16," Prokudin wrote.

He reminded that the return of children is always a complex process. A team from the charity organization Save Ukraine worked on the return.

"I am sincerely grateful that more of our children are safe. Since the beginning of 2024, 202 children from the Kherson region have been returned to Ukrainian-controlled territory," he emphasized.
