group of friends for children and armed conflict

We will ask Chair to share it within this group. We have prepared a brief information describing full pattern of grave violations against children committed by the russian invaders in Ukraine. The full-scale Russia’s invasion of Ukraine this February affected 7 million children in Ukraine, at least 993 children were wounded, 347 of them died, 646 were injured.Īll these consequences of a war and growing threats to children only strengthened our determination to make a meaningful contribution to global efforts to enhance protection of children affected by armed conflict. This war against my country has devastating and long-term consequences, especially for the most vulnerable – our children. Ukraine as a party to core international instruments related to the protection of rights of children supports all efforts to develop and secure social protection of children, to promote rights and wellbeing of children and to accelerate progress in the prevention and elimination of all forms of violence against children, to protect rights of the children in conflict zones or during war or in the situations of occupation.Īs you are well aware, since 2014 Ukraine has been a victim of an armed aggression of the Russian Federation. We are also grateful to Special Representative Ms. This is important step for my delegation from very practical reasons. Virginia Gamba, colleagues and friends,Īt the outset, I would like to express my delegation gratitude for your support of Ukraine’s joining to the Group of Friends of Children and Armed Conflict.
