"Every step within the plan, developed jointly with the United Nations, is vital for the protection of our children. We cannot stop until every child is safe," said Daria Herasymchuk.

The Joint Preventive Plan was initiated last year to systematically combat forced displacement, abduction, and the use of children in hostilities. It involves close collaboration with international partners and organizations to ensure effective monitoring and response to such incidents.

The extension of cooperation with the UN for another year is one of the steps in implementing Bring Kids Back UA, a comprehensive action plan initiated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This plan unites the efforts of Ukraine, foreign governments, and international organizations to return home Ukrainian children abducted by Russia.
