This is a sensitive issue. I cannot give you the full picture of all the children who were returned back home. We are treating them very sensitively and, for the matter of justice, we also enhanced our communication with children. We changed our approaches and techniques. We are usually limited to one interrogation or one communication with the children, because we can't retraumatize them. It happened that it would be two times, but we usually instruct our investigators and prosecutors to limit it to one investigation.
We have special green rooms that are called Barnahus, where children, especially very young children, communicate with psychologists. The prosecutor is in another room supervising this, so they do not meet with a prosecutor. Our legislation, which has improved, made it possible.
As a prosecutor general, we don't try to go into such deep detail in each and every case to find out how the perception of Ukrainian children who returned back home has changed. If the child is ready to talk about this, we accept this information, but it's impossible to press them by trying to ask. It's mostly what children are ready to tell us—this we fix. This is very important because, with the changing of this approach, we took standards from the International Criminal Court to apply to our work with children. These standards are very high.
If you allow me, I will finish.
It's very important for children to take part in pursuing justice and to be at the table. If they're ready, their voices as victims and witnesses of war crimes are extremely important. We engage them to speak, and we use specific techniques for them to speak freely. This is very important. The children will be at the table of justice at all times with all other institutions for their voices to be heard.
