Stories of children
Among those rescued was a family where the mother refused to receive Russian documents, which led to threats to take away her children and force them to attend a Russian school.
Three 17-year-old boys fled after being served with draft notices, and one of them was even kidnapped by the occupiers and taken by force to a military commissariat.
A little boy in a kindergarten was brutally bullied just for being Ukrainian, and a baby born during the war was denied medical care for almost a year and a half by Russians because his mother insisted on a Ukrainian certificate.
Two other children, after losing their mother, ended up in a Russian orphanage, where they were being prepared for adoption into Russian families.
"I am grateful to Save Ukraine for their assistance in organizing this rescue mission and for the fact that the Ukrainian children have finally returned to their families. We will not stop until all Ukrainian children are at home, safe and close to those who love them!" emphasized Zarivna.
