Children of Ukraine Are Forced to Leave the Country to Survive

According to UNICEF, Russia's war has led to the resettlement of more than half of Ukrainian children

1 month of the war in Ukraine resulted in the displacement of 4.3 million children  — more than half of the country's 7.5 million child population.

More than 1.8 million children have moved to neighboring countries as refugees; 2.5 million children became internally displaced persons within Ukraine.

"The war has resulted in one of the fastest mass displacements of children since World War II. This is a grim milestone that could have lasting consequences for the next generations. The safety, well-being of children and access to basic services are under constant horrendous violence," the executive said. UNICEF Director Katherine Russell.
