THE STORIES OF CHILDREN
In this section, you will find the stories of children affected by the full-scale war: injured, killed, kidnapped or detained by the Russian military and representatives of the occupational authorities. The section also publishes materials on the successful return of children and their reunification with the relatives after illegal deportation to Russia and the Republic of Belarus or after forced relocation to the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.
Dear media representatives!
All interviews with children affected by the war were carefully prepared for and conducted under the guidance of a child psychologist by a team of professionals with maximum consideration of the child's interests.
You may use all materials in whole or in part for publication in your media outlets or to produce your own information products. After all, these materials were created specifically to limit the victims' communication about their traumatic experience, to avoid repetitive interviews and thus protect children and their relatives from re-traumatization.
We emphasize that the use of all photo, video and text materials from the "The Stories of Children" section is allowed under the condition of the mandatory reference to "THE CHILDREN OF WAR" State Portal for Missing and Displaced Children: https://childrenofwar.gov.ua
