Twelve Ukrainian children safely evacuated from occupied territories
Six Ukrainian families, including twelve children, were evacuated from the temporarily Russian-occupied part of Kherson Oblast, the Reintegration Ministry reported on Telegram on Aug. 21.
Two boys and four girls aged 3 to 12 are among the evacuees, Kherson Oblast Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said.
The children and their parents are now safe, and doctors and psychologists are taking care of them.
The evacuation was carried out as part of the "Bring Kids Back UA" project initiated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Save Ukraine charity organization said.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
