The Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine Maryna Lazebna said that 50 children from vulnerable categories from Kramatorsk were evacuated to Switzerland. These are students of the Center for Social and Psychological Rehabilitation of Children of the Kramatorsk City Council Children's Service.
"We are constantly working and expanding cooperation with partner countries to evacuate children from vulnerable categories. We work with those countries whose governments create the necessary conditions and control the satisfaction of all the needs of Ukrainian children. We involve international organizations in ensuring the protection of the rights of displaced children.
Last week, the monitoring group, which includes members of the Coordination Staff for the Protection of Children's Rights in Martial Law, made monitoring visits to several countries to monitor the living conditions of our children and promptly resolve any issues that arise," said Maryna Lazebna.
