Recent Success in Rescue and Return of Abducted Ukrainian Children Shows Hope

• The international community has stepped up pressure and logistical support for Ukraine to retrieve thousands of children forcibly taken to Russia during the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
• The Red Cross and UNICEF have contacted Russia about the abducted children, and the ICC has issued arrest warrants for those responsible, including Vladimir Putin.
• NGOs like Save Ukraine have helped recover 95 children, reuniting them with their families in Ukraine after harrowing journeys and interrogations.
• About 31 more children were recently reunited with their families, but an estimated 19,000 Ukrainian children remain illegally held in Russia.
• There is renewed optimism that international intervention and grassroots efforts can bring home many more of Ukraine's stolen children.
