Olena Zelenska in an Interview with Latin American Media
Ukraine is searching for 19,000 Ukrainian children forcibly taken by the aggressor state of Russia. These are only those whose names have been verified. First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska said this in an interview with journalists from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, El Salvador and Chile.
The President's wife emphasized that Russia continues to conceal the information and whereabouts of Ukrainian children. Neither Ukrainian authorities nor international organizations have access to them.
“Only the joint efforts of all free countries can counter Russian arbitrariness against defenseless children. It is encouraging that the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children is constantly growing. It is important that all countries of the world realize as soon as possible that the rights and protection of Ukrainian children mean the rights and protection of their children as well,” Olena Zelenska said.
She added that the coalition now includes 37 countries. Recently, Argentina joined it.
During the interview, the First Lady also spoke about the work on the implementation of the All-Ukrainian Mental Health Program “How Are You?” and the activities of the Olena Zelenska Foundation.
