Details: Among those rescued is a boy who was just 9 years old at the time of the occupation of his hometown.

Quote: "He bravely stood up for his pro-Ukrainian beliefs, despite facing bullying from classmates and support from teachers. FSB agents visited his family, threatening to take him away from his mother. However, the boy remained steadfast, refusing to participate in militarized events and sing the Russian anthem."

Current Situation: All three children are now safe and receiving essential medical and psychological support.

This marks the 46th successful return of children from the temporarily occupied Kherson region since the beginning of the year.
