At the end of November, the boy sent his mother a series of voice messages from the head of the camp, saying that he would not be allowed back to Kherson because of his pro-Ukrainian views. On the screensaver of the guy's Telegram profile was a Ukrainian trident. Parents are told to pick up their children personally.

Since October, the children began attending Russian schools while living in camps. Among them is Natalia's 12-year-old daughter, taken from Balakliya to Russia in August. She attends a school in Krasnodar. Natalia claims that at least a hundred children taken with her daughter are still in Russia.
