As stated by the head of the Kherson RMA, Oleksandr Prokudin, five children have left the occupation and can live freely and safely again. The mother, who had four children ages 7 to 12, was also returned.

The large family could not leave independently for a long time. But when proper conditions were created for them, the family immediately agreed," said Oleksandr Prokudin.

It was also possible to return a 17-year-old boy. The boy did not want to get a Russian passport, so he had to hide from the so-called occupation authorities.

In total, 35 children from the Kherson region were returned to Ukraine's territories from the beginning of 2024.
