“Finally home! Despite all the challenges, we continue to work so that Ukrainians can see their families and be on their land,” stated Dmytro Lubinets.

Lubinets reminded everyone on his Telegram channel that they can contact the Ombudsman’s Office in the event of any violation of rights, illegal displacement, or deportation via several available contact avenues, including the hotline.

In addition, Lubinets states that if a child is deported, you can fill out the online application form “Report the disappearance/deportation/forced displacement of a child” by going to the “Apply in one click” section on the Children of War website.
