Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet, Head of the National Anti-Crisis Management Pavel Latushka held a meeting with the Special Envoy on the Return of Ukrainian Children of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, Karina Odebrink.

The meeting took place at the initiative of the member of the Swedish Parliament and Special Envoy on the Return of Ukrainian Children of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. Assistance in organising the meeting was provided by the Head of the Coordination Council delegation to PACE, Coordination Council delegate Aleksandra Mamaeva.

Pavel Latushka presented information gathered by the National Anti-Crisis Management: more than 3,500 Ukrainian children were forcibly transferred to Belarus from the occupied territories of Ukraine — the Kherson, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. These actions were carried out on the basis of a personal written decision by Lukashenko, taken within the framework of the so-called Union State.

The report is planned to be presented at the upcoming session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly.

The member of the Swedish Parliament noted the importance of reflecting the role of the Lukashenko regime in the commission of this war crime. Karina Odebrink emphasised that the materials of her report will include information transmitted by the National Anti-Crisis Management regarding the commission of this crime by representatives of the Lukashenko regime.
