- declared or registered residence or stay;
- registration of the child as an internally displaced person (IDPs);
- appeal, if the child’s residence or stay is not registered or located in the territory of hostilities or TT;
- identifying such a child by executive or local self -government bodies.
Bill No. 9495 At the official level, it enshrines the concept of deported and forced displaced children. According to the explanatory note, it establishes a legal basis for their return and should contribute to the further integration of children into Ukrainian society.
