Quote: “The occupiers quickly took over the 10-year-old boy. In the temporarily occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, the family is looking for a child who was taken away by the occupation “social services”, wrote Ivan Fedorov. 

Residents report that a grandfather who took care of little Vadym recently died in Enerhodar.

After that, according to Fedorov, the Russians took the child to Melitopol. 

“The family members who stayed with the boy are looking for him everywhere, but to no avail. The occupation authorities do not provide information about him,” adds Fedorov.

Note: Earlier, 17-year-old Bohdan Yermokhin, who was deported from Mariupol, was served a summons in Russia. The boy asked President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to bring him back home.

Subsequently, Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, said that Ukraine arranged everything to bring back the teenager.
