According to Andrey Yermak, the involvement of the ambassadors of the goodwill UNICEF - famous and popular people - to cover the problem of violations of Russia's rights of Ukrainian children will attract the attention of this topic throughout the world. The head of the head of state emphasized that the problem of deportation by the aggressor of minor citizens of Ukraine is extremely acute.

According to her, the UNICEF team is doing everything possible to protect their rights.
