Ukraine wants help to pressure Russia to return children

Ukraine has called for more international pressure on Moscow. This is to help Kyiv bring home thousands of Ukrainian children who Kyiv says have been illegally taken to Russia during the war.

The repatriation of children is “very difficult”. (…) Ukraine is partnering with non-governmental groups like Orphans Feeding Foundation, a Dutch NGO. Our foundation is helping coordinate a programme launched by the president’s office under the slogan “Bring Kids Back UA”.

Ukraine has repatriated 406 children so far. It does not know exactly how many more there are in total because it does not have access to Russia or swathes of occupied territory in the south and east.
