Verkhovna Rada and Presidential Initiative "Bring Kids Back UA" Establish Platform to Advocate for the Return of Ukrainian Children — Olena Kondratiuk
A series of expert briefings for MPs dedicated to deportation, forced transfer, and other russian crimes against Ukrainian children has launched in the Verkhovna Rada.
The initiative was organized jointly by Deputy Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Olena Kondratiuk and the Presidential initiative "Bring Kids Back UA."
The project goal is to establish a permanent platform through which parliamentarians will receive verified data, legal assessment, current analytics, and tailored briefing materials for engaging with international partners.
"We want to change every international contact of the Ukrainian parliamentarians into a tool for returning our children. This refers to the meetings with parliaments of our partner-countries, parliamentary friendship groups, addresses to PACE, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, and other international platforms," noted Olena Kondratiuk.
