“As of today, almost 600 people have been returned from Russian captivity – that’s about 100 civilians and the rest military. As for the deportees, on the one hand, the numbers are very terrible, on the other hand, there are no exact numbers because we do not have access to the territory of the aggressor, accordingly, there are the figures reported by the aggressor. There are more than 3 million people forcibly deported to their territory, including about 600,000 children.”

According to the head of the National Information Bureau, the process of returning people to the territory of Ukraine is very difficult.

“We also collect data and verify people – more than 30,000 adults and almost 7,300 children. People got out from the territory of the aggressor state or there are people who contact the Ministry of Reintegration and this is an individual return of children. Currently, 53 children who have been returned to Ukraine.”
