President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, speaking at a meeting of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children, condemned Russia’s systematic abduction of Ukrainian children and called for stronger global action to bring them home.

He stressed that almost 50 countries are now united in these efforts. “Almost every month, we see results. Children come home. But many more still need to come home. We must clearly document where the children are, track the full chain of abduction and the cover-up of this crime, bring the children back, and help them find themselves again and return to normal life,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated.
