On Monday, October 19, families brought their children to a park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region. A russian drone struck. Two little girls, one 11 years old and one just 14 months, were killed. Seven more children were wounded.
Since February 2022, at least 3,946 Ukrainian children have been killed or injured. That’s nearly 200 classrooms of children.
russia is also stealing Ukraine’s children in another way. More than 20,000 have been deported or forcibly taken. They are cut off from their families, stripped of their identity, and taught to hate their own country. Only about 1 in 8 has come home.
We cannot bring back the children we’ve lost. But we can help bring the stolen ones home and help them heal.
