"We have to have stolen children as a part of peace negotiation," Mykola Kuleba, founder of the charity Save Ukraine, which has been rescuing and repatriating Ukrainian children.
"We want, we ask, we beg the world: Help Ukraine bring our kids back."
Trump has since promised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy he would help find the children, according to the White House. But that promise comes as his administration cuts funding to an organization tracking their whereabouts.
'Death camps for Ukrainian identity'
Ukraine estimates Russia has taken 19,546 children from Ukraine since it invaded the country in February 2022, and only 1,243 have been returned home.
Kuleba suspects the full number of missing children could be more than a million over the last decade of conflict between the two countries.
These children, he says, are forcibly separated from their families and put in orphanages, foster homes or adopted into Russian families.
