Daria Zarivna, advisor to the President's Office, held an important meeting with the Ambassador of Lithuania to Ukraine, Inga Stanite-Tolochkiene.

The meeting focused on the main directions of the Bring Kids Back UA initiative, particularly the reintegration of returning children.

“Returning a child to Ukraine is just the beginning. A child needs comprehensive support and healing opportunities,” Zarivna stated.

They also discussed the initial list of abducted children submitted by Ukraine during negotiations in Istanbul.

“The Russian side must demonstrate its seriousness by returning at least a few children from the list,” she emphasized.

Zarivna highlighted the importance of international partners' support for the successful return of these children.

They also talked about the Safe Pathways Home initiative as part of the Montreal Commitment.

The parties stressed the need for international cooperation to locate abducted Ukrainian children and new methods for their return home.
