I am often asked about the reasons and mechanisms behind the deportation of Ukrainian children. It is especially difficult to understand for Western audiences. What is deportation? How do Russians take Ukrainian children? And, most importantly, why do they do it?
Since 2014, 20 per cent of Ukrainian children have been living in Russian-occupied territories or have been deported to Russia or occupied territories. Among the children rescued by Save Ukraine are tens of thousands from conflict zones.
