Two Ukrainian teenagers were successfully rescued from temporarily occupied territories as part of the Bring Kids Back UA initiative, a campaign led by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The operation was coordinated by Andriy Yermak, Head of the President’s Office, who confirmed the rescue in an official statement. The initiative aims to recover children who have been displaced or taken hostage during the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine.
The rescue highlights the ongoing efforts by Ukrainian authorities to locate and bring back children who have been separated from their families. The operation involved close coordination between military and civilian agencies to ensure the safety of the rescued teenagers. According to the Ukrainian government, the initiative has already resulted in the safe return of several children, with continued efforts to locate more missing individuals.
The Bring Kids Back UA campaign has garnered international attention, with many countries and organizations offering support for the recovery of Ukrainian children. The rescue operation is seen as a significant step in the broader effort to mitigate the humanitarian impact of the conflict and protect the rights of children in war zones.
