The Russians decided not to return to parents a group of children who had been taken from Enerhodar to Russia’s Krasnodar region for a “vacation.”

That’s according to Dmytro Orlov, the mayor of the satellite town servicing the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant, Ukrinform reports.

"Some parents who, despite the full-scale war, recently sent their children from Enerhodar and the surrounding villages to Russia’s Krasnodar region, have already started receiving alarming signals. The occupiers confronted them with the fact that the children would "remain in Russia for an indefinite period," also telling parents to send in warmer clothes, and "reassuring" them that the children would be able to go to school there," the mayor wrote on Telegram.
