Italian police refuse to return group of 57 orphans to Ukraine – Reports

Rome, Aug 15 (UNI) Italy has delayed for at least two weeks the return to Ukraine of a group of 57 orphans who left the country in March 2022, the Avvenire newspaper reported, citing the Bergamo police department.
The department in northern Italy has rejected a request for return from Ukrainian diplomats after receiving a corresponding signal from international organizations such as the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which opposed sending the children home, the report said on Wednesday.
The group of children aged 6 to 16 were supposed to leave for Ukraine on August 16 on three buses.
