It is noted that among the returned children is a 12-year-old girl whose parents serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Mykola Kuleba noted that they had long been looking for an opportunity to evacuate their daughter, because the children of servicemen at the TOT are under close control.

It was also possible to return two brothers aged 15 and 19. A month ago, the FSS detained their parents, and nothing is known about them at the moment. Russian special services also interrogated the older brother. It was very difficult to get the boys out of the occupied territory.

An 18-year-old boy and a 19-year-old girl from the Kherson region, who were abandoned by their adoptive parents in the occupied territory. They received threats because of their pro-Ukrainian position. Now Ukraine will provide them with the necessary support and help them start a new life, Mykola Kuleba wrote.

It was also possible to return a teenage boy, whose mother is still in the occupation, from the occupation.

In addition, Mykola Kuleba also wrote that since 2014, 1.5 million Ukrainian children have been living in the temporarily occupied territories and on the territory of the Russian Federation.

We will remind that Ukraine managed to return five pupils of the Novopetrivka boarding school from the Mykolaiv region, who were stolen by Russian troops in July 2022.

Earlier it was reported that a minor child who had not seen his parents for two years was returned from the occupation.
