Peace appeal for children's day: Children in the Ukraine War suffer horror!

Charkiw, Ukraine - on today's International Children's Day, May 31, 2025, NABG is expressed. Susanne Fürst, FPÖ spokeswoman for foreign policy, neutrality and the EU, to the recent generation for the devastating consequences of the war in Ukraine. In her opinion, the rapid end of the conflict is not only in the interests of the adults, but above all in the interests of the children. According to [ots.at] (https://www.ots.at/presseaus-sung/ots_20250531_ots0003/fpoe-fuerst-rasches-ende-in-der-Ukraine-ist-iShin- der Der-Kinder) who experienced the horrors of the war, described the situation for children as particularly frightening.

The criticism of the European Union is also not spared. In their opinion, there are no effective measures to relieve the suffering of children in Ukraine. It accuses the EU to abuse the fate of kidnapped Ukrainian children to justify arms deliveries. An application for the release of these children is dismissed as populist without pursuing real initiatives that could lead to an end of the war.

The humanitarian crisis of the children

The existence of children in Ukraine is characterized by severe uncertainty and suffering. Deutschlandfunk reports that at least 579 children died since the beginning of the war and over 1,200 were injured. In addition, more than 3.3 million children need humanitarian aid, and many of them have lost their homeland and live in constant concern for relatives who fight at the front. Mental health suffers greatly: According to estimates, around 1.5 million children are affected by mental problems such as depression and anxiety.

schools play a crucial role in the current crisis, and access to education is extremely problematic for many children. According to Unicef, 3,800 educational institutions are partially or completely destroyed, so that about five million children and adolescents in Ukraine cannot go to school for a limited extent. Innovations such as the establishment of an underground school in a subway station in Charkiw show how urgently shelters are needed for school attendance while bombing.

long -term consequences and support

The interruption of school education has serious consequences for the development and psychological well -being of the children. Plan internationally emphasizes that children have experienced significant learning obstacles since the war and the Covid 19 pandemic. A survey among young people shows that almost 20 % of those surveyed missed one to two years of schooling, while children in rural areas often stay behind their peers for four to five years.

The humanitarian crisis is not only a current problem, but also has an impact on the future of Ukraine. Plan.ch warns that over 12.7 million people in Ukraine need almost 2 million children. Education, mental health and the protection of children are of crucial importance for returning to the normality and the reconstruction of the country. Individual aid organizations strive to address these needs and offer safe learning rooms as well as therapy and tutoring.

The call for peace and joint efforts to support the affected children in Ukraine is becoming increasingly urgent. The suffering of the children can only be reduced by the end of the war and their future is secured.
