Two years without parents: Ukraine has returned nine children stolen Russian (photo)

Among the juvenile, abducted by the Russians from Ukraine, were children with disabilities, told Presidential Office Andriy Yermak. One boy immediately found himself in the ambulance and began to provide medical care. Ukraine has returned to the families of nine children, whom the Russian Federation stole in the occupied territories. Among them are two minors with disabilities who were in a boarding school in Oleshki, Kherson region: they were divorced with their family for over two years.

The special operation has been put into place with the support of Qatar partners. Presidential Head Andriy Yermak wrote about the details of the return of children in the Telegram. Yermak reported the results of the Presidential Initiative called Bring Kids Back UA. As part of this initiative and with the support of Qatar, the children returned home. The age of minor Ukrainians who managed to save - from 13 to 17 years.

Among them are children with disabilities from the Oleshkovsky Boarding House, located on the left-bank part of the Kherson region. From the first days of the war, the area was occupied and the establishment was deported to the territory of the Russian Federation at some time. For two years, his dependents were transported from place to place until they were in Skadovsk. After that, the "long road home" began, the head of the OP said.

The official's post contains photos taken at the moment when the children were on Ukrainian soil. In one photo they stand, unfolding blue-yellow flags. The faces of the children are blocked, the names are not indicated, we only see the people who met them. In another photo, there are a group of teenagers who have wrapped in flags and carry suitcases on their own. There is also a photo of a child who was immediately put on an ambulance under the supervision of an ambulance.

The Presidential Head summarized that all children returned to families and rehab. He thanked the representatives of the state of Qatar, who helped liberate Ukrainian citizens. The possible return of children stolen by the Russians became known on September 26. In the Western media, they announced an event, while using the saying - "exchange of children". The Commissioner for Human Rights Dmitry Lubinets responded to this statement.

The official stressed that there is not an exchange but a return, since Ukraine did not teach anyone. It should be noted that in June, Focus spoke about the investigation of The Financial Times against children stolen. As it turned out, the children were added to the adoption database and trying to transfer to Russian families. At the same time, representatives of the aggressor country deliberately distort the names and did not correctly indicate the age of the stolen.
