Prime Minister Mark Rutte will present the International Four Freedoms Award (IFFA) to Save Ukraine, a charity dedicated to bringing abducted Ukrainian children back to Ukraine from Russia and occupied territories. Mark Rutte: “Every day innocent people in Ukraine become victims of brutal war violence. Also children, the most vulnerable group. Since the start of this dreadful war, thousands of Ukrainian children have been abducted to Russia and Russian-occupied territories. The Ukrainian charity Save Ukraine is committed to bringing these children back home. To reunite them with their parents, family and loved ones. To heal what has been so severely wounded. Therefore I am very proud to present the International Four Freedoms Award 2024 to Save Ukraine.”

The prime minister already presented an IFFA to Sviatlana Tshikanouskaya, the Red Cross, Chancellor Angela Merkel and the United Nations.
