Reunited: Ukrainian Orphan's Journey Home

An orphaned Ukrainian teenager, Bohdan Yermokhin, who was taken to Russia during the war in Ukraine, has returned home after being reunited with relatives in Belarus on his 18th birthday. Yermokhin's parents died two years ago, and he was taken from Ukraine and placed with a foster family in Russia. He repeatedly expressed the desire to go home and had tried to return earlier this year. Yermokhin's return was facilitated by UNICEF and Qatari negotiators. Thousands of children were taken to Russia from occupied regions of Ukraine, prompting the International Criminal Court to accuse Russian President Vladimir Putin and children's rights ombudswoman Maria Lvova-Belova of war crimes.
