Five More Children Returned To Ukrainian-Controlled Territory
"Five more children have been brought back to Ukrainian-controlled territory from the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region. They include two girls and three boys aged 15 to 17," Prokudin said.
According to Prokudin, one of the children rescued was a 16-year-old girl who had witnessed an armed search by Russian troops during which they took her father away.
"Under threat, she was forced to attend a Russian school, where she was involved in propaganda events, taught to disassemble weapons, and made to perform in front of Russian military personnel. The girl also lived in constant fear because of drone attacks on civilians," he added.
The children were returned with the assistance of the charitable organization Save Ukraine. They are now safe and receiving the necessary assistance.
