This update was provided by Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, during a television broadcast, according to Ukrinform.
"The Ukrainian team, together with international partners under the Bring Back UA initiative, has managed to return 1,029 Ukrainian children. This is the updated figure," Lubinets stated.
