This is a priority for us, because it is a big challenge for me primarily for the diplomatic group of Ukraine. Because we can exchange warriors or sometimes even prisoners of other categories. But we cannot exchange children with the Russians. And it is clear why. Therefore, we need to return them to families, to loved ones. And the voice of the OSCE and parliamentarians is very important, ”the Head of State said.
He proposed to appoint a special envoy under the President of the OSCE PA, who focuses on the return of Ukrainian children. Volodymyr Zelensky also reported the preparation of the UN General Assembly resolution, which condemns the abduction and deportation of Ukrainian children, and called on the President of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly to support it. Pere Juan Ponus Sampietro noted that the Assembly would join the international coalition for the return of Ukrainian children.
The meeting also discussed joint efforts to release prisoners of war and civilians, illegally held by Russia. Separately, the President of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly noted the importance of continuing pressure on Russia. “We are more than 300 parliamentarians, more than 55 parliaments in which you have a voice, a united voice. This voice, of course, is not about bombs, not about military supply.
