Twenty-four children from the Kherson region, who were illegally taken out and held by the Russian invaders, were returned home, Alexander Prokudin, chairman of the Kherson OVA, said on April 10..

The children were returned thanks to the volunteers of the Save Ukraine Charitable Foundation, who made incredible efforts so that young Kherson residents could finally return home.

Volunteers themselves say that this is one of the most difficult rescue missions, because the Russians gave the children a 13-hour interrogation, and then forced them to participate in a propaganda report.

“Despite all the trials and the main thing experienced, now the children are safe, with their relatives,” summed up the OVA.
