Three more children – two girls and a boy – have been returned from the temporarily occupied left bank of the Kherson region.

This was announced by Alexander Prokudin, head of the Kherson Regional State Administration.

The children are aged between 4 and 16. They were returned thanks to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s ‘Bring Kids Back UA’ initiative and the help of partners.

The children are currently in Ukraine, where they are receiving psychological support and assistance with their documents.

“Since the start of the year, we have managed to return 84 children from the temporarily occupied communities of the Kherson region. I would like to thank everyone who is making this possible,” said Prokudin.

As a reminder, on 8 June it was reported that a further 60 Ukrainians had been successfully returned from the occupied territories and Russia — among them are seriously ill patients and the family of a prisoner of war.
