"At the end of February, the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights received an appeal for the return of a child in the temporarily occupied territory of Russia. A few days later, with the assistance and work of the staff of the Ombudsman's Office, Sasha was met by his grandmother. Now the boy is in Ukraine," Lubinets wrote on Telegram.

He noted that according to the National Information Bureau, 307 Ukrainian children have been returned to Ukraine so far.
