The cold season slowed down the liberation of Ukrainian territories. At the same time, it brought a load on the heating and energy systems in the conditions of constant shelling of Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. The population is forced to adapt to long-hour shutdowns of light, water and heating, which is extremely difficult for families with children, especially babies.
For 10 months in a row, Russian troops continue to commit all kinds of war crimes against the Ukrainian people. They destroy residential buildings, hospitals and schools, mine civilian infrastructure, worsen the humanitarian crisis in the temporarily occupied territories, deport Ukrainian families, involve children in
military training and propaganda, create torture cells for both adults and children.
