Five more children aged 1.5 to 18 have been returned from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

According to Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, the children were returned from the occupied territories of Luhansk, Donetsk and Kherson regions. He thanked Qatar for its assistance.

«One of the young men said he could not leave the TOT on his own, so he turned to our office, which helped him leave. Now Ukraine, together with charitable foundations and organisations, is helping him with obtaining documents, finding accommodation and entering a higher education institution,» the ombudsman wrote.
