Ten Ukrainian children and their families have been able to return from Russian-occupied territory to territory controlled by Ukraine, according to Ukrainian authorities.
Kiev has accused Moscow of having abducted up to 20,000 children from parts of eastern and southern Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
The children and their families lived in the temporarily occupied territories in the regions of Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, says Ukraine's Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets.
Russia has claimed that it relocated certain Ukrainian children from their homes or orphanages in order to provide them with protection due to the war.
