Details: Lubinets urged "everyone to calm down" and not to spread unverified information. He emphasised that such publicity harms the return process. Background:

  • 16-year-old Bohdan Yermokhin from Mariupol was deported to Russia by the Russians in 2022.

    He ended up in a children's sanatorium in Moscow Oblast.

  • In July 2022, he was placed under the care of Iryna Rudnitskaya, a Russian citizen and veteran of one of the Chechen wars.

    After that, he contacted a lawyer and asked her to help him. 

  • Bohdan will turn 18 on 19 November.

    He already received a summons to report to the Moscow Oblast enlistment office on 19 December 2023.

  • Maria Lvova-Belova (the Russian President's Commissioner for Children's Rights), assured the day before that the boy would be returned home as early as next week.
