Save Ukraine organization and Bring Kids Back UA continue to rescue young Ukrainians from Russian captivity. Over the past week, we have managed to return 23 children, among which were three orphans, from the temporarily occupied Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Luhansk regions.
For instance, one of the boys from Enerhodar witnessed his father getting brutally beaten in front of him. The boy also faced a real threat of forced mobilization into the occupation army after turning 18.
The Russian military broke into the house of sisters aged 15 and 17 three times in the middle of the night with searches and interrogations. The occupiers took things they liked and threatened to take the children away from the family.
A 16-year-old teenager was constantly summoned for interrogation by the FSB and detained by the military police because they considered him a "criminal" because he refused to obtain a Russian passport.
We are grateful to Humanity Foundation, WeAreAllUkrainians, Ron Wahid, and all our reliable partners who made the rescue of Ukrainian children possible.
