(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Andrii Yermak, Head of the Office of the President, announced this on Telegram , Ukrinform reports.

According to him, an 18-year-old girl had been living with her mother in temporarily occupied Crimea. They were unable to leave on their own and had to constantly change their place of residence to avoid persecution by Russian security services.

Another girl was pressured after finishing school to enroll in universities in Crimea or Russia. However, she dreamed of returning to free Ukraine and studying here.

A 19-year-old boy had long hesitated to leave, fearing that Russian forces might detain him at a checkpoint and forcibly mobilize him into the Russian army.

Yermak noted that the teenagers are now safe and are receiving assistance - from restoring documents to psychological support.

He also thanked the Ukrainian Child Rights Network, the volunteer initiative Humanity, and all partners who contributed to their rescue.
