Young man who was taken by occupiers from Mariupol to Russia is returned to Ukraine
This was reported by the Ministry of Reintegration, Censor.NET reports.
"We have another opportunity to tell you that the number of citizens returned from Russian deportation is growing.
This story began in April 2022. 17-year-old Oleksandr was taken from the temporarily occupied Mariupol to Moscow as part of a group of 31 children. The vast majority of children in that group were orphans or deprived of parental care.
On the eve of the New Year, a public figure who is involved in the return of children appealed to the Crisis Response Department of the Ministry of Reintegration. And here is a new small victory," the statement said.
As noted, Oleksandr is now in Kyiv. He is the fifth of this group to be returned. After almost two years in a foreign country, he reached the age of majority, but all this time he really wanted to return.
The Ministry of Reintegration expresses its gratitude to Daria Kasianova, Head of the Board of the Ukrainian Child Rights Network, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
