Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that he heard a briefing from Bring Kids Back UA team members Oleksandr Bevz and Maksym Maksymov on the results of the initiative’s work.
Overall, since the initiative began, it has been possible to bring back more than 2,100 Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. Of them, 150 have been returned since the start of this year.
They also discussed support for efforts at the level of international organisations. Recently, for the first time at the UN level, the deportation and forced transfer of Ukrainian children were classified as a crime against humanity.
Ukraine is preparing for a meeting of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children at the ministerial level, which will take place on 11 May in Brussels, and is counting on broad representation, concrete decisions, and practical support from partners.
