Liev Schreiber Advocates for Ukraine’s Abducted Children Amid Humanitarian Crisis
Since the commencement of the war, Ukrainian officials report that approximately 20,000 children have been forcibly taken without the consent of their families or guardians. Shockingly, only a fraction of them, fewer than 400, have been able to return home safely. Schreiber expressed profound concern over the violation of children’s rights, emphasizing the paramount importance of preserving their childhood and preventing their separation from their families.
During the UN meeting, Schreiber shed light on the disturbing reality faced by abducted Ukrainian children. Many are subjected to indoctrination programs in Russian-occupied territories, where they are manipulated into believing falsehoods about their parents and homeland. He condemned these egregious actions as tantamount to psychological warfare against innocent children.
Schreiber’s involvement in advocating for Ukraine’s abducted children extends beyond his role as a renowned actor. He is actively engaged in humanitarian efforts, serving as the co-founder of BlueCheck and as an ambassador for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s United24 initiative and Builders Ukraine. Through these organizations, Schreiber has contributed to raising funds for humanitarian aid and supporting initiatives to address the crisis facing Ukrainian children.
His impassioned plea for action underscores the urgent need for global attention and intervention to address the plight of abducted Ukrainian children. Schreiber’s advocacy serves as a reminder of the moral imperative to protect the most vulnerable victims of armed conflict and uphold their fundamental rights to safety, security, and a childhood free from violence and trauma.
