“Regarding the return of Ukrainian children abducted by russia. It is very important to involve as many leaders and well-known people as possible — not only presidents and prime ministers. I truly believe that the meeting between the First Ladies of the U.S. and Ukraine was important. We are very grateful that Melania Trump helped bring some of the children home, to Ukraine”, - wrote President Zelensky on Telegram on November 13.
According to Zelensky, Ukraine is also working with Qatar and the Vatican.
“And there are some other countries that are trying to help. We have brought back more than 1,600 children. And by our estimates, there are thousands of them there. It is true — about 19,500 abducted children are being held in russia. We must focus on how to find them. It is very difficult. We are working with various intelligence services. We have found about 400 places in russia where abducted children are being held. It is a real fact that these people took this child, stole this child. It is a long and difficult path. Every day we are finding more and more children. But it’s not only about how they were abducted. It’s about how to find them”, - noted the President of Ukraine.
“All these topics were discussed — the battlefield, frozen russian assets, and the issue of abducted Ukrainian children — in the conversation with U.S. senators. I am grateful for their willingness to help in every direction”, - emphasized Zelensky.
