Results

Zelenskyy noted that, overall, the initiative has succeeded in bringing back more than 2,100 Ukrainian children who had been abducted by Russia. Of these, 150 have been returned since the beginning of this year.

International organizations

In addition, the parties discussed separately the support for efforts at the level of international organizations.

"Recently, for the first time at the UN level, the deportation and forced displacement of our children were classified as crimes against humanity. This is very important, and this work must continue," the president noted.

International Coalition

Zelenskyy also announced preparations for a ministerial-level meeting of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children, which will take place on May 11 in Brussels.

"We are counting on broad participation, concrete decisions, and practical support from our partners," he added.
