CHILDREN OF UKRAINE

Ukraine: A Call to Solidarity for Children and Animals

Amid violence and war in Ukraine, citizens are joining forces to protect the most vulnerable: children and animals. Despite the difficulties, stories of hope and courage emerge.

Children Caught in Conflict:

Heartbreaking Figures: According to UNICEF, almost 2,000 children have lost their lives since the escalation of the war began more than two years ago. This is equivalent to an average of two child victims every day1.

Impact on Mental Health: Violence has deeply affected the mental health of children. Many suffer from insomnia and intrusive thoughts. Their innocence has been cut short by reckless decisions by adults1.

Abandoned animals:

A Shelter of Hope: The animals, left behind by their owners during the Russian invasion in 2022, have found a new sanctuary. Thanks to joint efforts, these defenseless beings receive care and protection2.

Rescue and Compassion: Volunteers risk their lives to save dogs, cats and other animals. In the midst of chaos, humanity prevails.

A Call for Peace:

Urgent Ceasefire: UNICEF calls for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine. This means stopping the use of explosive weapons in populated areas and protecting civilians, especially children1.

Education Disrupted: Almost half of Ukrainian children cannot attend in-person classes due to insecurity. UNICEF works to restore schools and provide online educational support1.

Our Call to Humanity: More than ever, Ukraine needs peace. Children deserve security, stability and access to education. Animals need compassion and shelter. Together, we can make a difference and build a more hopeful future for all
