Ukraine’s Ambassador to Israel, Yevhen Korniychuk, took part in the presentation of a documentary film about Ukrainian children who were deported by the aggressor country, Russia, and are finally returning home. The film, titled «After the Rain: Children Kidnapped by Putin, Returning Home,» was shown on December 4th at the Ukrainian embassy in Tel Aviv.
The film tells the story of young Ukrainian children who were kidnapped by pro-Russian separatists during the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine. These children were forcibly taken away from their families and brought to Russia, where they were brainwashed and forced to forget their Ukrainian identity. The film follows the journey of these children as they escape from captivity and make their way back to their homeland.
Ambassador Korniychuk, who has been a strong advocate for the rights of Ukrainian children affected by the conflict, praised the film for shedding light on this important issue. In a statement on Facebook, the embassy said that the film «highlights the tragic fate of Ukrainian children who have been victims of Russia’s aggression in our country.» The Ambassador also emphasized the importance of raising awareness about this issue and bringing these children back to their families.
The film’s director, Mykola Nosyrev, expressed his gratitude to the Ambassador and the Ukrainian embassy in Israel for their support and for giving him the opportunity to showcase his film. He hopes that the film will not only raise awareness but also bring about real change for these children.
The event was attended by many prominent figures from the Ukrainian and Israeli communities, as well as diplomats and representatives from international organizations. The film was met with great emotional response, with many in the audience moved to tears by the children’s stories and their determination to return home.
The Ukrainian embassy in Israel has been working tirelessly to provide assistance and support to Ukrainian children affected by the conflict. They have also been actively involved in the negotiations to bring back these children and reunite them with their families. Ambassador Korniychuk has personally met with many of these children and their families, offering them hope and reassurance that they will one day be reunited.
The film «After the Rain» is a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of the conflict on innocent children and the importance of bringing them back to their homes and families. It also highlights the resilience and bravery of these children, who have endured so much and still hold on to their Ukrainian identity.
The Ukrainian embassy in Israel hopes that this film will not only raise awareness but also encourage other countries to take action in bringing back the children who have been kidnapped and separated from their families. They also urge the international community to put pressure on Russia to end its aggression in Ukraine and ensure the safe return of these children.
In the end, the film «After the Rain» serves as a powerful testament to the strength and determination of the Ukrainian people, who refuse to be broken by conflict and remain united in the face of adversity. It also sends a message of hope and resilience to all those who have been affected by the conflict, especially the children who are the future of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian embassy in Israel, along with the entire nation, eagerly awaits the day when these children will be able to come back home, where they rightfully belong. Until then, they will continue to support and advocate for these children, and the film «After the Rain» will continue to be a symbol of their unwavering determination.
