Of all the horrors inflicted by Russia’s war, the abduction of Ukrainian children is one of its worst.
Stealing children is a calculated Russian attack on Ukraine’s future.
Bringing them home is a priority.
We support this with funding, aid and sanctions.
The EU today imposed new sanctions on individuals and entities in Russia for the systematic unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children.
My press remarks ahead of the Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children with @andrii_sybiha, @AnitaAnandMP and @MartaKosEU ↓
We are bringing our people home. The first stage of the “1000-for-1000” exchange agreement has been carried out. This agreement was reached during the meeting in Türkiye, and it is crucial to implement it in full.
Today – 390 people. On Saturday and Sunday, we expect the exchange to continue.
Thank you to everyone who is helping and working 24/7 to bring Ukrainian men and women back home. It is very important to return everyone who remains in captivity. We are verifying every surname, every detail about each person.
We will continue our diplomatic efforts to make such steps possible.
