What is known?

As noted, these are girls and boys aged from 8 months to 17 years.

Among those rescued is an 11-year-old girl whom the occupation authorities tried to place in a boarding school. A criminal case was opened against her mother and her parental rights were illegally revoked after learning that the woman was serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine .

Russian soldiers repeatedly took boys aged five and eleven to the district center for a so-called “trial.” There, the children were interrogated, humiliated, and their father was mocked in front of them.

Children are safe.

“Fortunately, the children are now safe and receiving the necessary assistance,” the head of the OVA added.

According to him, since the beginning of 2026, 19 children have been returned to the territory controlled by Ukraine from the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region. Джерело: https://censor.net/ua/n3598238
