With the help of the nonprofit organisation Save Ukraine, nearly 50 Ukrainian children were reunited with their families this month. Since 8 November last year, the organisation has assisted in returning 95 children.
But thousands of children are believed to still be separated from their home of origin after alleged forceful deportations by Russia since its invasion of Ukraine in February last year.
The International Criminal Court highlighted the alleged war crime when it issued warrants of arrest for Russian President Vladimir Putin and his commissioner for children’s rights, Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, last month for their alleged role in transferring children from Ukraine to Russia.
