8 children aged from 6 to 16 years were returned from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Seven children returned with the help of Qatar, one – through the humanitarian corridor.

Another 8 children were returned to Ukraine from the temporarily occupied territories. In particular, a boy was returned, who at the time of the Russian invasion was in a boarding school, whose pupils were taken by the occupation authorities to the city of Skadovsk and the Russian Federation, UNN informs.

"We managed to return 8 Ukrainian children to their homeland. Children from Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kherson regions and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, who lived under the pressure of the Russian occupation, finally broke free. This was implemented within the framework of the implementation of the approved Action Plan of the president of Ukraine Bring Kids Back UA," Lubinets said.

He noted that the Returned Children are from 6 to 16 years old, and some of them have illnesses, so they were met in Ukraine together with ambulances. Among those returned is a boy who at the time of the Russian invasion was in the "Oleshkovsky boarding school", whose pupils were taken by the occupation authorities to the city of Skadovsk and the Russian Federation.

According to him, family circumstances and the lack of prospects for the future of children prompted adults who were young Ukrainians to return to Ukraine.

"I note that 7 children were returned with the involvement of the intermediary country Qatar. Another boy was returned through the humanitarian corridor. But now these children will finally receive decent medical care, embrace their parents and relatives and implement their plans," Lubinets added.
