Since the Russian full-scale invasion, at least 19,546 Ukrainian children, out of an estimated 200,000, have been forcibly transferred or deported by Russia. At least 4,550 of those children are deprived of parental care and have no one able to go get them out of Russia.
Meanwhile, constant Russian aerial attacks against civilian areas disproportionately hurt kids. Last July, a Russian missile hit Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital, leading to the evacuations of hundreds of sick children. Three were in the middle of open-heart surgery. Dozens were in the middle of dialysis or chemotherapy. This is the reality of daily life in Ukraine. Russia has destroyed thousands of hospitals, schools, power plants, and transportation hubs that civilians depend on.
These are war crimes that we, as Americans, can stop. Innocent children can be saved, but only with your help.
As the 119th Congress gets to work, write your Representative and ask them to SAVE UKRAINIAN KIDS by continuing to give Ukraine what it needs to defend itself.
