Quote: "The children who have been brought back are between 6 and 16 years old. Some of the children have illnesses, so there were ambulances ready for them when they arrived in Ukraine. Among the children is a boy who was in the Oleshky orphanage [Kherson Oblast – ed.] at the time of the Russian invasion. The children in this orphanage were taken to Skadovsk [Kherson Oblast – ed.] and the Russian Federation by the occupation authorities."

Details: Lubinets noted that seven children were brought back with the involvement of Qatar as an intermediary. Another boy was brought back through the humanitarian corridor.

Government agencies and NGOs will help the families enrol their children in school, provide psychological and humanitarian support, and facilitate their social integration.
