The critical protection is to prevent the Russians occupying any more territory and to try to negotiate for the return of children who have already been seized. I've been in areas that were occupied and have been through the records in some of those areas. It's clear that many children were taken into Russia by the Russian armed forces. This is something that has happened across the areas that they've occupied, and it's obviously a great concern for the Ukrainians, because the process of filtration that was set up separated those children from their families.
