The race to save abducted Ukrainian teen, a pawn of Russian propaganda

In this exclusive report, we follow the poignant story of Dennis, a 16-year-old orphan from Ukraine, whose life has been caught in the crossfire of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. From being a strong patriot for Ukraine to seemingly supporting Russia under dubious circumstances, Dennis's journey is a testament to the war's impact on innocent lives. This video documents the efforts of Ukrainian activists, including the 'Save Ukraine' organization, to rescue children like Dennis who have been forcibly removed by Russian forces. The narrative also highlights the role of Russian propaganda and suspected manipulation of these children for political aims. Despite numerous setbacks, the Ukrainian community's rallying cry, "These are our children," underlines their ongoing fight to protect their young from the war's tragic consequences. ------------------------------------- Scripps News is your source for news and analysis covering the top stories from around the world.
