And this process is ongoing, it is really very difficult, because, in fact, the international community cannot influence the return of children. You’ve probably heard about volunteers, you’ve probably heard about NGOs, about how the state does it, but international organizations are powerless. And here is a question for the civilized world – how to ensure that those organizations that are called upon and mandated to protect children, not only Ukrainian children, but all children in the world in conflict zones, do everything in their power to be involved in the mechanism of returning children. So far, this mechanism does not exist as an effective format,” she emphasized.
