Deputy Head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine Ihor Zhovkva and Advisor to the Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights and Child Rehabilitation Darya Herasymchuk met with representatives of foreign embassies to discuss the problem of Ukrainian children deported and forcibly displaced by Russia, the press service of the Presidential Office reports.
“The meeting participants exchanged opinions on possible joint actions aimed at rescuing children abducted by the occupiers. Separately, the interlocutors focused on the need to inform the world community that every child in the world is in danger, as the Russian Federation does not intend to limit its aggression to the territory of Ukraine,” the message reads.
The parties stressed the importance of fair punishment of all criminals who ruined the destinies of abducted Ukrainian children.
"Only by joint efforts will we be able to save the Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia, prove the content of the crimes committed by the Russian military against the Ukrainian people, and punish the criminals," said Darya Herasymchuk.
Ihor Zhovkva noted that at this time neither the International Committee of the Red Cross nor any other influential international organization or institution has met the expectations of the world regarding the rescue of Ukrainian children.
At the end of the meeting, the guests received symbolic Motanka dolls, dedicated to Ukrainian children who were deported.
Recently, Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, said that after the arrest warrant for Putin was issued, Russia would begin to return abducted children more actively. Currently, Ukraine has recorded 16,228 cases of deportation of Ukrainian children by Russia.
