UNICEF Ukraine

Inspiring to be with bright young minds at the All-Ukrainian Youth Forum “Derzhavotvorets”. Ukraine's youth are indeed a generation of resilience. They are helping drive Ukraine's recovery and building a brighter future. Investing in youth is investing in Ukraine's future.

"We're building our future here, at home." Despite the challenges of war, young people in Ukraine are staying and helping drive the country's recovery. #WorldYouthSkillsDay #WYSD2025 #YouthSkillsDay

I am pleased to witness the whole-of-government approach supported by the @EUDelegationUA and the EU MSs. I thank everyone involved for a strong commitment to an effective and inclusive policy for children in line with #CRC and #EU standards so that no child in 🇺🇦 is left behind.

Ukraine moves forward with the implementation of the #EUChildGuarantee, which aims to prevent child poverty and social exclusion by ensuring free and equal access to services. This is crucial in protecting and fulfilling the rights of every child, especially the most vulnerable.

True recovery begins w/people – especially children. Their well-being, dreams & ability to build a future here in 🇺🇦 matter most. The 🇪🇺 Child Guarantee is about systemic investment – in education, healthcare & psychosocial support, every single day. It’s also part of our EU…

Heartbreaking reports of six children injured – including infants with the youngest just 28 days old – in an attack in #Kharkiv. The toll of the war on children continues to increase are more young lives are devastated. This horror must end. Stop attacks. Protect every child.

Attacks continue to impact children across Ukraine. In #Kharkiv, UNICEF and partners are providing emergency assistance like MHPSS and essential supplies to affected communities after the attack this morning. Children among those reportedly injured.

📍Odesa UNICEF and partners like @windsofchanges continue to provide immediate assistance to families affected by attacks. "We could hear cars exploding in the yard, smell the burning, see the smoke. My son was terrified," says Tetiana, whose family fled Kherson 3 years ago.

Deeply saddened about reports of a 10-y/o boy killed in an attack in #Kramatorsk. Our condolences to all affected. No respite for children as attacks continue across Ukraine. Reports of many children injured; homes, educational and health facilities damaged. Attacks must stop.

Another nighttime attack in #Kyiv. "My hands started shaking," recalls Bella, who sheltered in the metro. "We heard loud explosions and realised they were very close. Smoke started coming into the station. We couldn’t leave because there was fire at the exit," said her mother.

Over the last two days, aid workers delivered shelter supplies, organized meals and offered psychological support to those affected by attacks in #Chuhuiv and #Kramatorsk. Ongoing strikes in #Kharkiv and #Donetsk Regions highlight the urgent need for continued humanitarian aid.

UNICEF delivered hygiene kits to Stanislavska, #Kherson region, as part of an inter-agency convoy to reach people in communities affected by attacks. @OCHA_Ukraine These essential supplies were provided with support from the European Union. @eu_echo @EUDelegationUA @echo_Europe

The network of Child Rights Protection Centres in Ukraine is expanding, with the third one opening in the Volyn region with support from UNICEF and 🇳🇴. @NorwayAmbUKR Strengthening child protection systems and protecting #childrights a priority amid war. @lubinetzs

I welcome a big step for child rights in the 🇺🇦 justice system! The Cabinet of Ministers @Kabmin_UA approved a new National Strategy on Child Justice — aligning with 🇺🇳 @UNChildRights1 & 🇪🇺 principles. More than just a document — it’s a real move toward child-friendly justice.

The third regional Child Rights Protection Centre in Ukraine has been opened in Volyn Oblast. I am sincerely grateful to @UNICEF_UA (@MunirMammadzade) and the Government of the Kingdom of Norway (@NorwayAmbUKR) for their assistance in establishing it. Your support is not just…

Buildings in #Lviv and #Chernivtsi damaged in last night's attack. UNICEF is working with local authorities and partners to help respond to the needs of affected children and families.
