Russia’s war on Ukraine is having devastating impacts on children and families.

Some have been placed in Russian foster and adoptive families and given Russian nationality. Many of these children have been transferred to “camps” and other facilities, where Russian officials…

The Consequences of Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine for Children in Ukrainian Residential Institutions

Примусове переміщення, депортація та усиновлення дітей з України, що призвело до остаточного розлучення дітей із їхніми сім’ями, громадами та культурою, є явним порушенням їхніх прав людини та міжнародного

We condemn these practices and urge all parties to the conflict to respect international laws and standards that are there to protect children in conflict and other emergencies.
We call upon the Russian authorities, including Russia…
