How children in the Kherson region were saved from deportation to russia

Director of the Center for Social and Psychological Rehabilitation Vladimir Sagaydak said that the occupiers planned to take orphans by force and take them to russia. There were 52 children in the center and the staff decided to hide them.

So, one of the employees of the center took three children to her home, and told people that they were her nephews.

Those who understood that we have children whom we hide - even tried to help us. They helped with milk, gave it for free, someone brought potatoes, someone played with our children. The most difficult thing is that they were worried that they really, as they have already said, would come. So that they simply don't come to the house, said the woman who took the children to her.

By the way, russian occupiers forcibly took 3, 4, and 5-year-old children from a boarding school in Kherson. It is currently unknown where they are now.
