Today, on June 4, Ukraine marks the Day of Remembrance for Children Killed by russian Aggression, which coincides with the UN International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression.
For over a decade, and especially since the full-scale invasion, russia has been waging a brutal war against Ukraine’s future. The official figures from the Ukrainian authorities are heartbreaking:
707+ children killed
2 548+ children wounded
2 317+ children missing
20 570+ children forcibly deported to russia
Children should live in safety, pursue their dreams, and hear the sounds of laughter, not air raid sirens.
The world must not allow this tragedy to continue. Ukrainians need global support to stop this brutal war, protect Ukrainian children, and save Ukraine’s future.
