Russians kidnapped 375 children from Kherson Oblast

This was stated by the invaders themselves, the first deputy head of the Kherson regional council, Yuriy Sobolevsky, said in a Telegram channel.

According to him, this figure is not final and it is not known how many children the Russians have actually kidnapped.

What is more worrying is that we have already had cases of such 'recuperation' and we know how difficult it is to bring children back home afterwards," the official added.

He urges parents in the temporarily occupied territories not to trust the invaders and to be more circumspect about their offers.

We would like to add that today Dmytro Lubinets told Ukrinform that the occupiers use the territory of Belarus to transport Ukrainian children and prisoners of war. According to him, Ukraine has confirmation that the forced transfer of Ukrainian citizens takes place with the direct involvement of the Belarusian authorities.

We shall remind you that Russian invaders regularly take Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories for "recuperation". Recently, the invaders have come up with a new reason for kidnapping children - taking Ukrainians out for "medical examinations". According to the Centre for National Resistance, the Russians come up with diagnoses for this and insist on "treatment". The Russian authorities allocated over 1.4m roubles for such "examinations" in 2023.
