Andriy Yermak, the head of the President's Office, reported the information.According to Andriy Yermak, a 15-year-old girl escaped from the occupation with her aunt after her parents and older brother were sentenced by the Russians to long prison terms on fabricated charges.A 14-year-old girl and her 7-year-old sister lost their home and all their belongings after a fire completely destroyed their home.Another 15-year-old girl and her parents barely left their home for three years because the family lived in daily fear that the occupiers might knock on their door and take the children away.And the occupation "guardianship service" tried to take a 10-year-old boy away from his own parents.
"Today, all of them are safe in Ukraine, where they are receiving psychological support, restoring their documents and taking their first steps towards a new, peaceful life," said the head of the President's Office.In early September, a group of children aged 3 to 18 who were in the Russian Federation and the temporarily occupied territories were returned to the territory controlled by Ukraine.
