According to Ombudsman Lubin, a minor Sergei from Mariupol, who lost his parents shortly before the invasion, did not communicate with his "guardians" and waited for returning home. A 16-year-old teenager returned to Ukraine, who was forcibly "adopted" by the Russians after the occupation of Mariupol. This was reported by Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets. According to him, in Ukraine, in 8 months, 16-year-old Sergiy, who lived before the invasion of Mariupol, was able to return.

Shortly before the Great War, the teenager lost his parents but lived with his older sister. After the occupation of Mariupol, 16-year-old Sergiy was deported to the Russian Federation, where he was "adopted". The family in which the teenager lived had three of her own and one foster child. 16-year-old Sergei did not talk to "new parents". Fortunately, as the Ombudsman notes, there was no child abuse in the family. "I want to return from Russia to Ukraine," a teenager wrote in one of the chatbots.

At the border of the teenager was met on Monday, December 19. At the station Sergiy was also met the head of the UNICEF representation in Ukraine Murat Shahin, who gave the child a laptop for study. Lubinets stressed that after the loss of his parents, his sister will become the official guardian of the teenager. "I am amazed at the purposefulness of a young Ukrainian and his irresistible desire to return home. It is an example of what is in Ukrainians - unbroken and perseverance.

His history is a history of struggle for being free, living freely and near free people," he added Ombudsman, commenting on a 16-year-old teenager's return to Ukraine. It should be noted that in early December, the forced deportation of children from Luhansk region to Chechnya was reported. According to the head of OVA Sergei Gaidai, minor Ukrainians were forcibly exported by Ramzan Kadyrov for "patriotic education".
