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’

The people of Ukraine are enduring a ‘Living Hell,’ UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said, as the shelling of multiple cities and towns continues. ‘The war is going nowhere, fast, he stated, describing it as unwinnable.’ Ten million people have now fled their homes in Ukraine because of the Russian invasion, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees says. As well as the 3.5 million who have left for neighboring countries, another estimated 6.5 million people are thought to be displaced inside the war-torn country itself. Continuing the fighting, Mr. Guterres said, was ‘morally unacceptable, politically indefensible and militarily nonsensical… Sooner or later, it will have to move from the battlefield to the peace table. This is inevitable. The only question is: How many more lives must be lost?’ Welcome to ‘WAR IS HELL’
