Russia keeps on using 🇺🇦 children as props for its propaganda

During yesterday's "Victory Day celebrations" in the temporarily occupied Mariupol, the city's cultural centers forced kids to dance in Soviet uniforms and with USSR flags

For 🇷🇺 these are not kids - they are puppets

[Bring Kids Back UA @BringKidsBackUA]

"Living the War: Children during the Russian War against Ukraine" is a book that features 8 stories about kids, who suffered from 🇷🇺 aggression

The book aims to convey kids' experiences and intensify efforts to save young Ukrainians 🫂

A group of 16 Ukrainian children and their relatives are currently in Qatar for medical, mental, and social recovery. All of them had previously been forcibly deported to Russia, but thanks to our friendly Qatar's mediation efforts, they have been released and reunited with their families.

Ukraine's Ombudsman, Dmytro Lubynets, and Qatar's Foreign Ministry's Minister of State for International Cooperation, Lolwah Al-Khater, met with them in Doha today.

Thousands of other forcibly deported Ukrainian children remain in Russia. It is heartbreaking to realize that, as time passes, they are growing up apart from their families and homeland. Together, we must make every effort to bring each child home and I thank everyone around the world who is helping us with this difficult task.

I am deeply grateful to Qatar and personally to the Amir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, for assisting Ukraine in this vital effort. We look forward to continued fruitful cooperation on this matter, as well as the return of more of our children.

@HerasymchukD, Advisor and Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for Children’s Rights and Rehabilitation summed up: "We also must speak out loudly about the crime of deporting Ukrainian children and about all the efforts made by the international community!"

Yesterday Ukraine presented projects aimed at facilitating the return and reintegration of 🇺🇦 kids.

Executive Director of Ukraine Bureau & co-chair of the meeting, @KatiCsaba, emphasized: "Today we welcome 🇱🇮 & 🇸🇮 as the new members of the Coalition. We will continue to raise global awareness, advocate and put public pressure on other states to support the returning of 🇺🇦 kids"

Putin has kidnapped more than 20,000 Ukrainian children. @BuildersUkraine are lighting up the night in Washington to tell Congress that failing to pass #UkraineAidNow means letting Putin get away with his crimes.

[Bring Kids Back UA @BringKidsBackUA]

🤝 Ikgadējā diskusijā aicināju ārvalstu vēstniekus aktualizēt #Krievijas nolaupīto #Ukrainas bērnu atgriešanas jautājumu savu valstu valdībās un meklēt atbalstu politiskiem un tiesiskiem risinājumiem, lai palīdzētu Ukrainai atkalapvienot ģimenes.

These 🇺🇦 children are heroes. They all had dreams and a future, but one thing in common: they were deported or forcibly transferred to Russia or occupied territories. Today, thanks to the @bkb_ua program and global partners, they are safely back home. They have become the voices of 19,546 children who are still currently deported. Their personal stories shed light on the horrors and abuse those children experienced during deportation. 1/2

"Mēs nedrīkstam kavēties 🇺🇦Ukrainas atbalstā. Neraugoties uz panākto 50 mljrd. eiro finansējumu, Krievijas uzsāktā rusifikācija, tostarp nolaupot ukraiņu bērnus, turpināsies. To var labot ar maksimālu militāro atbalstu". Mans aicinājums šodien, uzrunājot deputātus EP plenāsrsēdē.

One of the initiators and organisers of the conference @RWoCforum in Riga was the Ambassador of Ukraine to the Republic of Latvia Anatolii Kutsevol.

'Stop thanking us. Instead, we should be the ones saying "Sorry"'

@Mariam__Lambert, during her keynote speech at the Russia's War on Childrenconference (@RWoCforum) in Riga, on the deportation of Ukrainian children.

[Bring Kids Back UA @BringKidsBackUA]

Using the example of Ukrainian children, we have seen that there is no global child safety system. The return of each child is a separate operation within the #BringKidsBackUA plan.
