Ukraine begins an information campaign on the territory of the Russian Federation for the return of deported Ukrainian children

The information campaign is being implemented by the FREED TV channel in partnership with the Authorized President of Ukraine on the Rights of the Child and Children's Rehabilitation and Juvenile Police of Ukraine. The campaign "You know - tell!" It aims to provide systematic coverage and clarification to residents of the Russian Federation of the criminal nature of the forced movement of children.

In addition, the campaign envisages providing persons in Russia and have information about deported Ukrainian children, the opportunity to inform Ukraine about them. The result of the campaign will be the provision of domestic and international institutions involved in the return of Ukrainian children to their homeland, information about the place and circumstances of their stay in the Russian Federation.

For this purpose, information videos, plots, special projects and rubrics aimed at the audience that lives in Russia will be published on the site of the FREED TV channel, focused on Russian -speaking viewers outside Ukraine. “We will not be able to return their childhood to children, but we must return their home. To all. The return of stolen children to Ukraine is our absolute priority. It is a matter of well -being and at the same time restoration of justice.

Because those who abduct our children and those who illegally adopt them equally commit a crime. They are involved in genocide. The responsibility for this has no limitation period. I think not all Russians understand it, and they need to explain the consequences of such actions.

Therefore, our project is both a way to return as many children as possible, and a chance for Russians to avoid complicity in a crime against humanity, ”said Advisor to the Head of the Presidential Office, Operations Director Bring Kids Back UA Darya Zarivna.

As the Commissioner of the Head of Child and Children's Rehabilitation, the Bring Kids Back UA Coordinator Daria Gerasimchuk, Ukraine is looking for and implementing all possible ways of returning Ukrainian children home to their families. “We have no right to wait for these children to grow up. We do not have time to delay while the Russians select nationality and origin from our children.

We will not hope for the emergence of new mechanisms, but we will look for our own effective ways to return children, ”she explained. To transmit information about deported Ukrainian children to the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine at the Digital-playgrounds, a special channel for feedback and telegrams "I'm here" (@ia_tuut) is available. All persons who will provide information through the initiative "Know - Say!" Are guaranteed anonymity.

The information received is automatically transmitted to the relevant law enforcement agencies of Ukraine. “In order to return children to Ukraine, you need to have information about them. Children are now scattered throughout Russia, and it is difficult to collect data on the territory of the aggressor country to specialized Ukrainian or international organizations. At the same time, the FREED Channel has a large audience in Russia.
