Details: Lubinets reports that the family was in danger while residing in temporarily occupied Donetsk Oblast; the Russians threatened to separate the children from their mother and had the younger ones follow Russian educational requirements.

Following the appeal from their relatives, the mother and children were brought back from the Russia-controlled territory. 

Quote: "Despite all the challenges and dangers, we managed to provide a safe path for this family and meet their humanitarian needs in the area under the control of the Ukrainian government thanks to the coordinated efforts with our partners, Caritas Ukraine and Rokada."
