As part of the initiative of the President of Ukraine Bring Kids Back UA, eight Ukrainian children aged 6 to 16 were returned from the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson, Zaporizhia, Luhansk, Donetsk regions and Crimea, Head of the President's Office of Ukraine Andriy Yermak said.

"Among them are children who survived difficult trials during the occupation. One girl with serious neurological diseases lived with her grandmother in Crimea and did not have access to the necessary medical treatment, which worsened her condition. The girl's mother was abroad and could not take her daughter. Another 12-year-old boy, after losing his mother, ended up in an orphanage, where he was subjected to propaganda and they planned to transfer him to a Russian family. Despite all the difficulties, he maintained contact with his father, who lives in Kharkiv. Now these children have returned to Ukraine, where they receive the necessary state support and the love of their relatives," Yermak said on his Telegram channel.

He said the return of these children is a step towards restoring justice and hope.
