Russia’s war in Ukraine has displaced some 4.3 million children in the past month, more than half of the country’s estimated 7.5 million child population, according to UNICEF. The figure includes 2.5 million children who are internally displaced inside Ukraine, and more than 1.8 million who have crossed into neighboring countries as refugees. The ongoing conflict has created one of the fastest large scale displacements of children since World War II, UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell said. The war is taking a toll on Ukraine’s kids. This is a grim milestone that could have lasting consequences for generations to come,” Russell added. ”Children’s safety, well being and access to essential services are all under threat from non-stop horrific violence.’ Overall, the war has displaced 1 in 4 Ukrainians. Ten million people have left their homes since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, with more than 3.6 million refugees fleeing to neighboring countries. Welcome to ‘Wartime Innocents’
