Ukraine and Chile Deepen Their Cooperation to Return Ukrainian Children Abducted by Russia

Within the framework of the Stolen Voices information campaign, which is part of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Bring Kids Back UA action plan, a Ukrainian delegation led by Daria Herasymchuk, Advisor – Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights and Child Rehabilitation, visited Chile. The visit was organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

Together with the Ambassador of Ukraine to Chile, Yurii Diudin, the delegation met with representatives of the Government, the Directorate of Human Rights and the National Institute of Youth of the Social Development and Family Ministry of Chile.

The Advisor – Presidential Commissioner emphasized the importance of returning home Ukrainian children abducted by the aggressor state of the Russian Federation.

“Today, there is no global system of child safety in the world – this is exactly what the broken fates of Ukrainian children and their lost lives have proven. We hope for the support of the whole world in our struggle, because it is not just about our children. Today it is Ukrainian children, tomorrow it could be children from any other country,” Daria Herasymchuk said.

Ambassador of Ukraine Yurii Diudin noted that the Chilean Government is ready to become an observer in the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children. He also expressed hope that the country will play an active role in the work of the Coalition.
