THE PAIN OF KRYVYI RIH IS
THE COMMON PAIN OF ALL OF UKRAINE
On April 4,
Russia launched a missile attack on the civilian infrastructure of Kryvyi
Rih.
19 people were killed, including 9 children. More than 70 people were injured.
The missile hit an ordinary street, close to residential buildings, a playground,
a restaurant and a store.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mr. Volker Türk reacts to the missile
attack on Kryvyi Rih.
This is a principled and extremely important position of the Office of the United
Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, which actually recognizes that
the attack of the Russian armed forces on Kryvyi Rih may constitute a war
crime, so the actions of the Russian Federation must be urgently investigated,”
said
Mr. Dmytro Lubinets.

FIVE UKRAINIAN CHILDREN ARE HOME
AND REUNITED WITH THEIR FAMILIES!
On 28 March, five Ukrainian children were returned from the temporarily
occupied territories (hereinafter — TOT) of Ukraine.
The children are between
the ages of 11 and 16. This happened with the mediation of our constant partner,
the State of Qatar.
The return was carried out as part of the implementation of
the approved action plan of the President of Ukraine
Bring Kids Back UA.
Among those returned was a boy from the TOT
who lived with his father but
was systematically subjected to abuse by him. Despite the facts of physical
violence against the child, ‘local’ social services were in no hurry to help the
child.
The mother tried to take the boy away on her own, but her attempts were
unsuccessful.
It was only after contacting our Office and the involvement of a
permanent intermediary, the State of Qatar,
that the mother and her son were
reunited.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
FAMILIES LEAVE TOT FOR UKRAINIAN
GOVERNMENT-CONTROLLED TERRITORY
Another seven children were returned
from the TOT of Ukraine and the
Russian Federation. This was done
as part of the implementation of the
approved action plan of the President
of Ukraine
Bring Kids Back UA.
Each
of the return stories is unique, but all
are united by a common desire for
security and freedom.
Some families
left the occupied territories because
of political persecution,
others so that
their children could receive a Ukrainian
education, and some were simply
looking for a way to escape.

25 RECOMMENDATIONS
TO THE AUTHORITIES:
How to Support Ukrainians Abroad And Facilitate Their Return
Only 25% of Ukrainians who were forced to move abroad would like to return to
their homeland in the future. The rest either have no definite opinion, plan to stay
abroad, or want to live between two countries.
These findings were presented
in the analytical report ‘Forced Displacement Abroad’,
prepared by the Office
of the Ombudsman of Ukraine in partnership with the Council of Europe Office
in Ukraine and the Cedos think tank.
