Like being in a cage: the story of children from the Novopetrivtsi boarding school The first weeks of the full-scale war the children of the Novopetrivtsi boarding school spent in a cold basement. The kids almost did not go outside because of the constant shelling. Once they were almost killed by debris - they managed to run into the storage room in time. The basement was damp and cold. The adults somewhere got small stoves, which they used to warm the #children. Russians occupied the village at the beginning of March. Military invaders quickly found a boarding school and children. They put a guard at the entrance. And they count the children every day. The director of the institution was threatened with a weapon so that she would not give the pupils to their relatives. In July 2022, the occupiers forced 16 children and staff to pack up and leave the boarding school at gunpoint. The children were placed in cars separately with Russian drivers and taken first to Stepanivka in the #Kherson region. Later, they were transported across the #Dnipro to the left bank and then by train to Anapa. There, they stayed for some time in the Pearl of Russia camp. Despite being captured, they managed to keep in touch with their loved ones, who prayed for the children's return to #Ukraine by all means. Children in occupied territories are vulnerable and unprotected from the enemy's cruelty. Orphans are the most vulnerable category because no one can protect them. The Russians try in every way to use them for their criminal purposes and manipulate them. It is easy to kidnap these children, transport them to another territory, make their new documents, give them to a #Russian family for upbringing, force them to study in a Russian school, or become a member of any militarized children's organization. We are happy that we have accomplished another successful mission. Each rescued child received a chance for a happy future in their native land. #Rescue #RescueMission #SaveUkraine #OperationHope #rescue_mission #story #helpchildren

Save Ukraine has rescued 3 more children from the occupation Our team has completed another operation to evacuate children from the occupied territories. This time, we saved 3 children. One of them left without parental care. In total, the team managed to return 359 young Ukrainians. This mission was particularly challenging. The families had to go through several checkpoints. There was a thorough check of documents every time. However, this is not an obstacle for us. We did everything possible to help the children leave for the controlled territory of Ukraine. All this trouble is worth the children's smiles that appear every time the rescued children see our native blue-yellow flag. Save Ukraine extends its sincere gratitude to all partners and benefactors whose support makes our missions possible. We can save even more children and return them to their homes together. #Rescue #RescueMission

Rescue from the occupation: 10 more children in Ukraine! Today, Save Ukraine has freed 10 more #children from the occupation, including 7 from a large family. The youngest child is 9 months old. To date, we have already returned 345 children to #Ukraine. It was a challenge since the youngest child was born during the occupation, and the documents issued by the occupation authorities are invalid in Ukraine. We could produce new papers and transfer them to the TOT. That was problematic not only because of heavy shelling and disrupted communication but also because of the risk of exposure. The family had to walk 2.5 km of the humanitarian corridor. This transition was hard for them: the little one cried and was nervous, and the grandmother, whose health worsened, had to be carried in a wheelchair. The return of each child is a complex process that requires extraordinary efforts from each team member. We are grateful to our partners, Charity Fund Humanity and #WeAreAllUkrainians, for their support and cooperation in this mission. We are also grateful to KG Moore and the political attache of the US Embassy in Ukraine, who has shared the meeting of the rescued children with us today. This work is critical because every saved child is a step toward restoring the future of Ukraine. #rescue_mission #SaveUkraine @MykolaKuleba
