In the conditions of a full-scale war, which touched every Ukrainian family, the most vulnerable categories of the population need special attention — children from low-income families and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Today, thousands of children find themselves in difficult life circumstances, often deprived of the most necessary: warm clothes, adequate nutrition, access to education or medical services. In such conditions, every step aimed at improving their lives is of great importance. These problems are especially acute in the winter period, when costs for heating, warm clothes and basic needs increase. For many war-affected families, even these basic expenses become unaffordable. That is why the government of Ukraine continues to implement social programs aimed at supporting children, in particular, the «Warm Winter» initiative. «Warm Winter»: an initiative that gives hope Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during the government meeting on January 21 announced about improving this program. According to him, families who were not included in the list of recipients last year for technical reasons will be able to receive payments this year. The amount of assistance is 6,500 hryvnias for each child. The program has already proven its effectiveness in 2024, when more than 590,000 Ukrainian children received one-time cash assistance. The funds were directed to meeting the most urgent needs: warm clothes, shoes, medicine, food. This allowed thousands of families to survive the difficult winter months with minimal comfort. Shmyhal noted that the introduced changes will avoid technical errors that prevented some families from using the program last year. Thanks to this innovation, more families will be able to provide their children with the essentials during the cold season. Key aspects of the program and its meaning One-time cash assistance in the amount of 6,500 hryvnias per child is not just financial support, but a real chance for many families to overcome difficult circumstances. The government has foreseen the use of these funds for priority needs, including warm clothes, winter shoes, hygiene products and medicines. It is worth noting separately the transparency and systematicity of the program. In 2024, more than 590,000 children received payments, which is an indicator of the effectiveness of this initiative. In the new format, the program will be available to even more low-income families and families of IDPs. The needs of children in wartime Children are the most vulnerable category of the population, which suffers the most from the consequences of war. Many of them have lost their homes, the ability to attend school, or access to health care. Families who have been forced to leave their homes often face financial difficulties and the inability to provide for the basic needs of their children. In addition, it is important to consider the psychological aspect. Constant stress and uncertainty affect the psycho-emotional state of children, and the lack of basic things, such as warm clothes or shoes, only worsens the situation. Providing financial assistance not only improves the financial situation of families, but also creates a feeling of support and care from the state. Despite the significant achievements of the «Warm Winter» program, there are also challenges. Above all, it is important to ensure that aid reaches every family that needs it. This requires improving procedures and minimizing technical errors. In addition, the state should continue to inform citizens about the possibilities of receiving assistance and ensure transparency in the use of funds. In the future, such programs can become the basis for creating larger initiatives aimed at supporting children in crisis situations. After all, by investing in children, the state invests in its future. In times of war, every gesture of support, every initiative aimed at helping children is critically important. The «Warm Winter» program demonstrates that even in conditions of limited resources, opportunities can be found to support the most vulnerable segments of the population. Providing warmth, clothing and basic needs for children from low-income families and families of IDPs is not only a social, but also a moral responsibility of the state. And as long as such programs exist, thousands of Ukrainian children still have a chance for a better life even in the darkest times.

Deportation of children during wartime is not only a gross violation of international law, but also a tragic threat to entire generations. Russia’s war against Ukraine led to an unprecedented phenomenon: thousands of Ukrainian children were illegally taken to the territory of Russia, where they lose contact with their relatives, their culture and national identity. This issue has already gone beyond the purely Ukrainian context and has become a challenge for the entire international community. According to international norms, such actions amount to a war crime. Meanwhile, the world is increasingly aware of the scale of this humanitarian disaster, and it is global efforts that can help overcome this tragedy. One of the central elements of international cooperation is the creation of the International Coalition for the Return of Illegally Deported Ukrainian Children. This initiative is designed to unite countries that adhere to the principles of the UN Charter and respect human rights in the fight for justice and the restoration of children’s rights. Participation in this coalition is not only a symbol of solidarity with Ukraine, but also an important step in strengthening the principles of international law. Volodymyr Zelensky: appeal to the world community During a meeting in Davos with the President of the Republic of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed to South Africa to join the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children, who were illegally deported by Russia. The head of state announced this in his publication in social networks H. «Held a meeting with the President of the Republic of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa. We discussed the need to unite the efforts of all countries that adhere to the principles of the UN Charter to achieve a just peace. We also considered the possibility of South Africa participating in the treatment and rehabilitation of wounded Ukrainians.» — noted Zelensky. A global effort to solve the problem The international community has already begun to respond to this issue. The countries of the European Union, the USA, Canada and a number of other countries supported the idea of creating a coalition. Some of them are ready to provide not only political, but also practical help, in particular in identifying the location of deported children, their return and providing rehabilitation. The United Nations, UNICEF and the International Criminal Court have also joined the process, stressing the importance of bringing those responsible for such crimes to justice. Unfortunately, the challenges remain large-scale. According to Ukrainian authorities, only part of the deported children were identified and returned. A successful solution to this problem requires coordination at the level of governments, international organizations and civil society. A separate role in this process can be played by the countries of the Global South, in particular the Republic of South Africa, which has significant influence in international diplomacy. Why this question affects everyone Deportation of children during war has long-term consequences not only for the victims themselves, but also for the whole world. This is the threat of destruction of cultural identity, violation of children’s rights and undermining of the international order. A world that does not respond to such crimes risks becoming more vulnerable to violations of international law. Every child returned to Ukraine is not just a saved life, but a symbol of justice and hope for the future. Global support in the fight against the deportation of Ukrainian children is a contribution to preserving humanity, the rule of law and common values. Volodymyr Zelenskyi’s call to the Republic of South Africa and all countries ready to act is a reminder that every voice in this struggle matters. Only together can the world ensure justice and give children back their homes, their families and their right to a happy future.
