During June, with the assistance of the Ministry of Reintegration, 44 children were returned to Ukraine, whom the invaders illegally took to Russia or to the occupied territory.

This was announced by representatives of the Ministry for the Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories at a meeting of the Council on Issues Related to the Life and Safety of Children in War and Post-War Times.

Most of the returned children are orphans or children deprived of parental care. The Ministry of Reintegration has also developed a special algorithm of behavior if you become aware of the illegal transfer of an orphan child to Russia or to the occupied territory.

Also, the government says that they are developing changes in the mechanism for adopting children during martial law.. This should help children who have lost their parents find a new family..
