Zelenskyy arrives in Qatar: country aids in returning children abducted by Russia

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Qatar on June 5 to hold talks with Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

Zelenskyy said that Qatar is helping Ukraine return children abducted by Russia.

"We will discuss continuing this work both within the framework of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children and within the Peace Summit, where this is among the agenda items," he stated.

The president noted that Qatar actively participated in the preparation of the Peace Summit and should be one of the Middle Eastern voices advocating for the return of Ukrainian people to their homes, as well as global food, nuclear, and energy security.

Zelenskyy added that the meeting would also cover a range of bilateral economic and security issues.

As of May 2024, 2,021 children are reported missing due to the war in Ukraine.
