Ukraine evacuated seven more children from the occupied territories

Ukraine was able to evacuate seven more children with their families from the occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.

This was announced by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, in the Telegram channel.

«Children and their families left Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. Some of the families experienced real horrors during the occupation and witnessed how the Russians ransacked the houses of local residents, forced them to take Russian passports, committed violence against Ukrainians, and forced their children to study at school according to the canons of the «Russian world». And families with teenage boys left TOT, so that their children would not later be taken to the Russian army,» he said.
