How long will the terror continue? For weeks, Russia has relentlessly attacked Kyiv. Yesterday, among the sites hit were a medical clinic and a building of the National Academy of Sciences. Despicable, yet another failed attempt to break the 🇺🇦 spirit. This must be stopped.

Russia’s war has changed childhood for millions across Ukraine - but it must not define their future. The EU provides healthcare, education, psychosocial care and support for families. Because every child deserves the chance to recover, learn and dream beyond the war.
