"Seven children returned from occupied territories, and another six returned from Russia as part of the Bring Kids Back UA project," Yermak wrote on Telegram on Thursday.

The information was confirmed by Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets.

According to Kyiv, around 20,000 children have been taken from Ukraine to Russia or Russian-occupied territories without the consent of their families or guardians. Ukrainian authorities describe these actions as a war crime.

The judges acceded to the prosecutor's request, finding that there are reasonable grounds to believe that Putin and Lvova-Belova are responsible for crimes involving the unlawful deportation of children from occupied areas of Ukraine to Russia.
