As part of the President of Ukraine’s Bring Kids Back UA initiative, four more Ukrainian children have been rescued from temporarily occupied territories, where they faced pressure, intimidation, and forced Russification.
Daria Zarivna, an advisor to the head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office, announced this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.
“Among them is a 14-year-old girl with a heart disease, whose family was forced by the occupiers to renounce their Ukrainian citizenship under the threat of having their children taken away. A 16-year-old boy was forcibly registered for military service, while his classmates were even sent to enlistment offices despite their young age. Another 15-year-old boy continued online studies at a Ukrainian school despite the risks, which led to repeated interrogations by the FSB and threats of being sent to an orphanage,” Zarivna wrote.
She expressed gratitude to NGO Save Ukraine for assisting in organizing the rescue mission and for their relentless fight for every Ukrainian child.
On March 6, seven more Ukrainian children were successfully returned from occupied territories.
As of January 28, under the Bring Kids Back UA initiative, 1,037 illegally deported Ukrainian children have been brought back from Russia.
