The Save Ukraine team recently returned the 17-year-old boy to Ukraine. Mykyta was illegally and forcibly transferred from occupied Kherson to Russia. For two years, he was forced to live in an enemy country, in a foreign city, to study in a Russian school where Ukrainian children were treated as mentally retarded, because they were unable to learn the Russian curriculum. Instead, the children got “Conversations about important things” and were taught military affairs and taught how to disassemble and assemble a Kalashnikov rifle. The boy was scared the most by the fact that at the age of 18, after the so-called Junior Army, the Russians would force him to fight against the Motherland. You will learn the full story of Mykyta shortly after.

Today, our team has returned 277 children from Russia and the temporarily occupied territories. But thousands of children are still waiting for rescue. You can also join the rescue — make a donation using the link.
