Children in Ukraine have spent years living with air raid sirens, disrupted education and the daily uncertainty of war. Many are forced to learn online or in underground classrooms as communities adapt to the realities of a prolonged conflict.
During recent visits to Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the UN’s Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Vanessa Frazier, met children, families, and officials on both sides of the border.
Ahead of the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, observed on 4 June, she spoke to UN News’s Evgeniya Kleshcheva about what she witnessed and why keeping children at the centre of all responses remains essential.
