Four children were liberated from Russian-occupied Kherson Oblast and returned to Ukrainian-controlled territory. The group included a 14-year-old girl with a disability, a 12-year-old boy, and two 15-year-old boys.

Four more children have been brought back to Ukrainian-controlled territory from the temporarily occupied part of Kherson Oblast. These are a teenage girl, 14, with a disability, a boy, 12, and two teenage boys, 15.

The parents were reportedly forced to send their children to a Russian school and obtain Russian citizenship. The boys were also enrolled in the military register so that they could be drafted into the Russian occupying forces later.
