Five more Ukrainian children have been returned from Russian occupation.

Five children from occupied territories have been returned to areas controlled by Ukraine. This was made possible through the initiative of the President of Ukraine, Bring Kids Back UA.
Из-под российской оккупации вернули еще пятерых украинских детей.

This was reported by the communications advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Darja Zarivna, in a Telegram post on Tuesday, January 28.

Ukrainian Children Have Returned Home

The children had been under Russian occupation for an extended period. They range from 1.5 to 18 years old. Among them is the 15-year-old daughter of a defender, who was recently freed from Russian captivity. The family had to conceal their plans to leave in order to protect the military member while she was still imprisoned.

"An 8-year-old boy also returned home, who, despite the occupiers' ban, had been secretly studying in a Ukrainian online school all this time," noted Darja Zarivna.

Among the returned children is a 17-year-old young man. He personally sought help to escape from the occupation and continue building a future in Ukraine. He celebrated his 18th birthday already at home.

It is worth noting that children whose parents are in captivity participated in a support rally for prisoners of war. The event took place in Kharkiv.

The bodies of 757 fallen defenders were returned to Ukraine as a result of repatriation efforts. The defenders fought in the Donetsk region and Zaporizhzhia.
