Ukraine repatriates 23 children from Russian occupation
Ukraine has secured the return of 23 children from Russian-occupied territory over the past week, according to the presidential initiative Bring Kids Back UA. Among the group were a 9-year-old boy who was forced to undergo military training with grenades and firearms, and a 13-year-old girl who survived a combat drone strike near her home.
The latest repatriation represents a small fraction of a much larger number. Ukraine's Justice Ministry has officially confirmed 20,610 cases of deportation and forced transfer of children to Russia as of September 2026. However, Ukrainian officials estimate the true figure is far higher; the country's ombudsman suggests up to 150,000 children have been taken, while the presidential commissioner for children's rights gives a range of 200,000 to 300,000.
In 2023, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and his commissioner for children's rights, Maria Lvova-Belova. The warrants accuse them of responsibility for the war crime of unlawful deportation of children from occupied areas of Ukraine to Russia.
