Another teenager evacuated from occupied Kherson region – authorities

Ukrainian authorities have evacuated another teenager from the temporarily occupied part of Kherson region, regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin said.

"The occupiers forced the 17-year-old boy to attend a so-called Russian school, threatening the family with deportation and the loss of parental rights. It got to the point where he was forcibly sent to a medical commission and handed a draft notice for the enemy army. To save their son, the family made the only possible decision – to leave. Thanks to the President's Bring Kids Back UA initiative, they are now safe and receiving the help they need," Prokudin said on Telegram.

He said this was already the 55th child evacuated since the start of the year from temporarily occupied communities in Kherson region.
