The War is Impacting Mental and Physical Well-being of Ukrainian Children

The War is Impacting Mental and Physical Well-being of Ukrainian Children
Donate

Ukraine’s vulnerable populations have been greatly impacted by russia’s full-scale invasion, and a particularly grim picture is developing for children.

By the numbers:

  • 483 children have tragically lost their lives.
  • Over 1,000 children were wounded in the conflict.
  • 1,500 children orphaned, as reported by the National Social Service of Ukraine.

However, the physical toll is just the beginning. For war survivors, the psychological trauma is expected to leave long-lasting scars, affecting their development into adolescence and beyond.


Devastating Impact on an Entire Generation

The War is Impacting Mental and Physical Well-being of Ukrainian Children

The war affects children’s lives in many ways.  A recent report from UNICEF underscores this, pointing out that:

  • 1.5 years of violence, fear, loss, and interrupted education made an indelible impact on children’s lives.
  • 1.5 million children are now at risk of severe mental health issues.
  • Healthcare infrastructure is severely damaged, hampering essential care and vaccinations.

Congress Raises the Cost of Putin’s War in Ukraine

WASHINGTON – Nova Ukraine applauds Congress's bipartisan passage of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act 2026, sweeping sanctions legislation that ratchets up pressure on Moscow to end its illegal war. Nova Ukraine CEO Ambassador Erin E. McKee said: "We're grateful that Congress has finally passed real sanctions with teeth against Putin and the Russian officials waging this war, and we urge the President to sign this legislation into law without delay. Sanctions bite when they cause real economic consequences. These target the Russian defense sector and the foreign suppliers propping it up, and they go after Putin's so-called shadow fleet of tankers that has quietly financed this invasion for years.

When the Lights Go Out, Childhood Shouldn’t Have To

A new solar power system at a high school in Chernihiv Oblast will help keep heat, water, classrooms, and its shelter running through Ukraine’s hardest winters, giving students something children everywhere should be able to count on: school. Last winter, a school in Chernihiv Oblast had more days without power than with it. When the grid went down, the generators on site weren’t strong enough to power the building. Heating failed. The shelter went cold. Students who should have been in class were logging on remotely instead — if they could log on at all. This winter will be different.

Nova Ukraine Supports Independent Anti-Corruption Investigation, Emphasizes Due Process 

(KYIV, Ukraine)--Following Ukrainian Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko’s resignation amid a NABU/SAPO investigation into an alleged scheme involving officials in the Prosecutor General’s Office and fraudulent call centers, Nova Ukraine CEO Ambassador Erin E. McKee issued the following statement: “We welcome this investigation. Accountability and the rule of law are essential to a well-functioning democracy. Nobody is above the law.While we support NABU and SAPO, we also advocate for due process, evidence, and independent judicial review. And we expect the government to safeguard the independence of anti-corruption institutions.We support a full, independent, and transparent investigation of all individuals implicated. Any credible allegations of wrongdoing involving public officials - including officials within law-enforcement or anti-corruption institutions - should likewise be investigated independently and according to the law.The same rule must apply to everyone: investigate where the evidence leads, protect due process, and let independent courts determine guilt.”
