I am trying to protect young ones in this war but the odds are against us. There is no military purpose to attacking primary schools, only savagery.
- Nikolai Kuleba is the ombudsman for children with the office of the president of Ukraine
For the past seven years, I have been the ombudsman for children in Ukraine. This is the work of my lifetime. With the support of the president, the first lady and my determined staff, we work to end violence and exploitation of children in every form, and return those harmed to health in body and mind. Today, every child in Ukraine is my charge because violence and terror rain upon them all.
Childhood cannot coexist with war. And, for humanity, childhood must exist.
