Four years into Russia’s full-scale war, thousands of Ukrainian children are still separated from their families.
Their fate must be our priority. My Special Envoy for children of Ukraine, @thordiskolbrun, and our partners are bringing the cause of these children to the world. They must be brought home, their traumas healed, and accountability prevail.
