In the draft resolution, after paragraph 16, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly also calls on the Ukrainian authorities to put a particular emphasis on activating procedures (involving, as appropriate, the National Information Bureau, the Ministry for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine and its partners, the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, national police and juvenile police units) to gather information on and ensure the safe return of forcibly transferred Ukrainian children from the Russian Federation and Russian-occupied territories."

Explanatory note

Regarding the extreme urgency of the reunification of these children with their relatives, the Ukrainian authorities and agencies should put a strong emphasis on these specific procedures, notably in order to avoid any additional long-tasting trauma for the children concerned.
