This is the best summary I could come up with:
Polina packed what little she could and caught a 20-hour train from Poland to Kyiv to meet with a nonprofit called “Save Ukraine”… they promised to help her find 9-year-old Nikita.
Last October, Nikita was living in a boarding school for disabled children when the Russian authorities ordered all 86 kids there to be transferred deeper into Russian-controlled territory.
Polina says the Russians played a cruel game of hide and seek - moving Nikita at least three times in eight months - including to an orphanage in Russia.
Now, he runs these secret rescue missions, which rely on an underground network of safe houses and volunteers… including Russians who oppose the war.
What Polina couldn’t tell us over the phone was that she and Save Ukraine hatched a plan to get past a border checkpoint near the school in occupied territory where Nikita was held: she pretended to be an aid worker.
And Putin’s top deputy in charge of children’s rights – Maria lvova-Belova – posted these videos of what she described as Ukrainian orphans with their adoptive parents.
