- The parents of the girls, Denys and Anna, were found shot to death in their automobile.
- Yet the last time anyone saw Arina was on March 3, 2022.
- She is one of 345 Ukrainian children.
Kyiv: The family of 15-year-old Arina Yatsiuk made the decision to leave their house close to the Ukrainian capital by car one week after Russia invaded. They came across a squad of Russian soldiers less than 10 kilometres down the road.
Arina and her 9-year-old sister Valeria were removed from the rear seat by the soldiers after they began shooting. Arina was taken to one automobile after being hurt, and Valeria was taken to another.
Valeria was brought to a neighbouring community, where residents discovered her along the highway. The parents of the girls, Denys and Anna, were found shot to death in their automobile.
Yet the last time anyone saw Arina was on March 3, 2022. According to official Ukrainian data, she is one of the 345 Ukrainian children who have vanished since Russia declared a full-scale war on Ukraine in February of last year.
Several of the missing children, according to the Ukrainian government, were transported against their will to Russia. Although claiming to be “rescuing” the Ukrainian children it has abducted, the Russian government does not deny doing so.
Oksana Yatsiuk, Arina’s aunt, told that the family has been looking for the young woman with dark brown eyes and braces ever since she vanished. According to her aunt, Arina enjoys using makeup, painting, and travelling.
“She had lofty goals, but the “Russian liberators” made all the decisions. We shall continue her plans once we locate her “She spoke.
The daughter, now 16 years old, is allegedly still alive and being “kept captive” in Russia, according to the girl’s family.
In a phone interview, Yatsiuk said, “I wrote official letters to all of the medical facilities, to the Ministry of Health in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine and the official answer I received is that she has not been recorded anywhere.
Yatsiuk, who is located in Poland, asserted that Arina may not have been formally registered anyplace because she may not have had any documentation with her when she vanished.
She stated, “I got an official response that Arina wasn’t registered entering the border.
The family has been scouring social media forums, contacting refugee organisations, and collaborating with volunteers in Russia and Belarus.
Yatsiuk claimed that Arina’s DNA was frequently compared to the national databases. She claimed, “She is not listed among the officially deceased.
According to a Russian volunteer who is assisting with the hunt, Arina was brought to a Russian hospital and has remained there ever since.
There have been no fresh leads on the case since the fall, according to the volunteer who spoke under the condition of anonymity because their participation in the hunt may jeopardise their safety.
