Points of attention
- Children rescued from Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine due to persecution based on their views and origin.

- Issues faced by children, including bullying, threats, and deprivation of rights, highlighted in the rescue operation.
A group of children from TOT were returned to Ukraine
A 17-year-old boy was persecuted for refusing to study at a Russian school — after a denunciation to the FSB, their home was searched, and his mother was threatened with deprivation of parental rights.
Another teenager became a target of the occupiers because his father and brother were Ukrainian military personnel, as a result of which the occupiers searched the boy's home, interrogated him, and threatened him.

This group also includes a three-year-old girl who spent most of her life under occupation. She was bullied because of her Ukrainian language, which caused her to stutter and now requires professional help.
