Here’s a rewritten version of the article in simpler language:
**Ukrainian Children Rescued from Russian-Controlled Areas**
Eight Ukrainian children have been brought back home, according to Andriy Yermak, head of the Presidential Office. These children were living in areas controlled by Russia.
This happened under a program called Bring Kids Back UA. Since February 2022, over 19,500 Ukrainian children have been taken away from their homes and sent to Russia. Sadly, only about 390 children have been able to return home so far.
The eight children who were rescued are between six and 16 years old. They came from areas like Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, Donetsk Oblasts, and Crimea. Seven of them were helped by Qatar’s efforts, while one was taken back through a safe route.
Each child’s story shows how difficult it is to help people during the ongoing war. For example, there was a young girl with medical problems who couldn’t get the treatment she needed in Crimea. Another boy had lost his mom and was at risk of being sent to a Russian family.
Andriy Yermak said: “The return of these children is a step towards restoring justice and hope.” He emphasized how important this effort is for Ukraine.
**The Risk of Deportation**
Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian Ombudsman, warned that about 1.5 million Ukrainian children living in occupied areas are at risk of being deported to Russia.
Qatar continues to play a crucial role in helping to bring these children back home.
