US Pledges $25 Million to Bring Back Thousands of Ukrainian Kids who were Abducted to Russia

“Since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine more than four years ago, thousands of Ukrainian children have been taken into captivity.

“These are the children that have been either deported to Russia or forcefully transferred within occupied territories,” Maksym Maksymov, the leader of Bring Kids Back UA, told CBN News.

Bring Kids Back UA is an initiative launched by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to identify, locate, and return their children.

Although Ukraine confirms more than 20,000 cases of abducted children, Maksymov believes that number to be much higher.

“In 2023, they made two statements. The first one they have proudly posted about welcoming, I quote, the Ukrainian children in the amount of 744,000 to Russia,” said Maksymov. “That was their statement, number one. And the second one is in their report to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, they said that they have issued Russian citizenship to 46,000 Ukrainian kids.””

“The U.S. State Department has pledged $25 million to find and return children, while also providing critical resources to help those rescued heal.

“There are multiple services provided across medical needs, psychological needs, humanitarian needs,” said Maksymov. “It is most important that they are provided with a good environment.””
