Six children have been rescued from the Russian-occupied Kherson region, the area's governor Oleksandr Prokudin has said.
Mr Prokudin said on Telegram the children - one girl and five boys - were "rescued from the camps of the Russian occupiers".
The Save Ukraine organisation worked on the rescue mission, he said.
"It was an extremely difficult rescue mission with delays at roadblocks and intimidation," the governor said.
"Fortunately, all the children are safe now. Doctors and psychologists work with them."
The children were aged between five and 12.
