An initiative launched by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, ‘Bring Kids Back UA’, has urged the release of all Ukrainian children detained in Russia during the ongoing conflict in the region. Presenting its first White Paper titled ‘Safeguarding Children from Forced Transfers and Deportation’ earlier this week, the ‘Bring Kids Back UA Task Force’ called for an intensified international action in locating and safe return of all Ukrainian children.
The Talks Force is co-chaired by Andriy Yermak who is currently the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. The White Paper mentioned that to date, thousands of children have been detained but only a few hundred children have been returned to Ukraine.
High-profile individuals and organisations from around the world were present to hear the findings of the White Paper.
