Ukrainian authorities have documented more than 20,600 children forcibly displaced or deported from occupied territories by Russian authorities. Read our latest explainer to learn about international legal obligations to protect children in conflict: law.georgetown.edu/icji/blog…

In the war in Ukraine, civilians and prisoners of war have been subjected to sexual violence in a shocking pattern of torture, intimidation and coercion. A report issued by @UNHumanRights today details what High Commissioner Volker Türk describes as “abhorrent acts” committed since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

🇺🇦 On Ukraine’s #RescuersDay, we honour the first responders of @SESU_UA who risk their lives every day to fight fires, save lives, clear rubble and respond to emergencies. Thank you for your courage and service.

1/3 9 September marks the International Day to Protect Education from Attack, drawing attention to the impact of Russia’s ongoing war on education across Ukraine.

NEW: Russia continues the deportation of Ukrainian political prisoners in apparent violation of international law. Other Key Takeaways: Russian occupation officials used the beginning of the 2026-2027 schoolyear to showcase enrollment figures while continuing efforts to institutionalize pro-Russian curricula, military-patriotic education, and behavioral monitoring mechanisms throughout occupied Ukraine. Early voting for the Russian State Duma elections has begun in occupied Ukraine as Russian occupation officials continue to set conditions to control electoral outcomes. Russian and occupation courts continue to issue over decades-long sentences to residents of occupied areas accused of pro-Ukrainian activities. The Donetsk Oblast occupation administration is trying to present occupied Donetsk Oblast as an attractive investment destination for Russians and foreigners. Russian elites are using their ties to development projects in occupied Ukraine for self-enrichment. Russian state atomic energy corporation Rosatom is denying recent international warnings about the situation at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) to present itself as a responsible and capable operator. Russian occupation administrations continue to rely on Russian patron regions for construction and development projects in occupied areas.

As the new school year begins in #Ukraine, we send our warmest wishes to children, teachers, school administrators, parents & everyone working to ensure education continues in spite of daily Russian attacks. Your resilience in the face of adversity inspires us all. 💙💛

39 children and teenagers were rescued from occupation by the Save Ukraine team last week. This was made possible thanks to the support of our partners as part of the Bring Kids Back UA initiative of the President of Ukraine. Each of them endured pressure, intimidation, and attempts at re-education, but today, all of that is finally behind them. Among those rescued: 🔹 14-year-old Serhii, who was threatened by masked soldiers that he would be taken away from his family if he refused to attend an occupation-run school. There, the boy was forced every day to study the enemy’s version of history and sing the russian national anthem, while even a single word about Ukraine could be placed under the supervision of social services. 🔹 21-year-old Viktor, whose home was regularly raided and searched by armed soldiers who accused him of espionage. The young man was forced to obtain a russian passport, and along with it, he was given an order to undergo a medical examination for service in the russian army. 🔹 21-year-old Mykola, who faced total militarization while studying at university. Students were forced to attend meetings with russian soldiers and were taught how to operate drones, while his classmates openly threatened to report him to the authorities. As soon as the young man graduated from university, he received a military summons. For these and 36 other children and teenagers, occupation is now in the past. Today, they are undergoing rehabilitation at the Hope and Healing Centers, receiving comprehensive psychological support, assistance with documents, and comfortable housing so they can start their lives anew. Unfortunately, thousands of children still remain under occupation, where the enemy is trying to erase their identity and turn them into weapons. That is why we continue to fight for every single one of them. 🙏🏻 We thank our partners @klitschko, Tatjana Kiel, WeAreAllUkrainians, The Humanity Funds, and the Joint Center for Coordination of Search and Release — together, we are bringing Ukrainian children home. Thanks to Save Ukraine, more than 1,500 children are already home.
