In 2024, Ukraine managed to return home 449 Ukrainian children, who were illegally deported, taken away or held in temporarily occupied territories by the aggressor country of russia. Currently, these children are with their families, the Office of the President emphasized.
"Every return is a story of renewed hope, preserved childhood, and the victory of justice. We are making every effort to ensure that the voices of abducted Ukrainian children and their families are heard. From Bürgenstock to Montreal, from Brussels to New York, from Cape Town to Mexico City, from the Peace Summit and the Montreal Conference to the UN Security Council - Ukraine is using all international platforms to unite the world and increase pressure on russia," the statement said.
Ukraine's goal remains to return all Ukrainian children home, the press service noted.
