Quote: "We managed to evacuate a mother and her four children, aged 7 to 12. The large family could not leave on their own for a long time. However, when proper conditions have been created for them, the family immediately agreed [to leave for Ukrainian government-controlled territories]."
Details: Ukraine also managed to bring back a young man, 17, who refused to obtain Russian citizenship and had to hide from the Russian occupying authorities.
All the children are now in a safe place, receiving medical, psychological, social and humanitarian assistance in order to resume their normal lives.
Prokudin said a total of 35 children from Kherson Oblast have been brought back to Ukrainian-controlled territories since the beginning of 2024.
