Wednesday, the Ukrainian President's office shared footage showing Volodymyr Zelensky taking part in the opening of the "Child Rights Protection Center."

Zelensy said the center is tasked with bringing back children that were 'forcefully taken' from Ukraine to Russia, as well as assisting children who have become 'victims of crimes or witnessed them.'

He also said his country now returned more than 300 children back to Ukraine and expresses his hope that the remaining children "return whilst they are still children."
