The Ukrainian children rescued from Russia
Natalya ran a children's care home in southeastern Ukraine when Russian forces invaded in February 2022. Soldiers turned up at her door saying they were taking the children to Russia, and she insisted on going with them.
Thousands of Ukrainian children have been illegally taken to Russia over the course of the war but Natalya and her children are some of the few who have escaped.
Russia claims it is giving them sanctuary from the horrors of war.
On the Sky New Daily, host Sally Lockwood is joined by aid volunteer Kathy Stickel, who helped rescue the children from Russia, and our international affairs editor, Dominic Waghorn, who's been out to Tbilisi, Georgia, to meet them.
