According to Daria Herasymchuk, the President’s Commissioner for Children’s Rights, during the full-scale war, approximately 200,000 to 300,000 Ukrainian children were forcibly taken from Ukraine by Russia. The abduction of 19,393 children by Russia has been officially documented by name.

The BGV Charity Fund provides regular and systematic support to the Ombudsman’s Office in its efforts to return Ukrainian children who were illegally taken to Russia and to evacuate children from Ukrainian territories temporarily occupied by Russia.

In particular, the BGV Charity Fund has purchased and donated two minibuses for transporting Ukrainian children and provides monthly financial support to implement the action plan for their return.
