Ukraine managed to return another 9 Ukrainian children who were illegally detained by Russia, in particular, in the temporarily occupied territories.

This was reported by the ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets.

"The stories of these children are amazing. I have repeatedly emphasized that every return is like a special operation. After all, the destinies of children are different, but each of them had to go through trials," Lubinets emphasized.

Two children were in the temporarily occupied territories for a long time, and now they were returned to their parents. In addition, the boy whom the Russians accused of blowing up the bridge was returned to Ukraine, kept in prison for a month and interrogated.

"He went through all the circles of hell, including filtration. But now he is with his mother in Ukraine," the ombudsman added.

  • Mandatory evacuation was announced in the Kupyansk community in Kharkiv region due to constant shelling. As of August 21, almost 600 people were taken out of there, including 153 children.
  • 171 children still remain in the front-line communities of the Donetsk region. According to the head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, "a tougher mechanism is used, in particular forced evacuation with parents."
