Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada for Human Rights Liudmyla Denisova says 36,000 children in Ukraine have been recognized as victims of armed conflict.
“According to the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine, the number of children who have received the status of victims of the armed conflict is 36,000. At the same time, almost 25,000 children live and study in the ‘gray zone.’ About 177 educational institutions are located in the zone of shelling,” Liudmyla Denisova said.
To Commissioner for Human Rights, children suffer complex injuries, facing lack of medicines and appropriate health care resources.
“Children are subjected to violence, they are left without a family and home, they suffer from psychological trauma due to the loss of parents, relatives and friends. Almost 200,000 children have fled their territory of residence and have to adapt to new conditions,” Denisova said.
