Canada, Ukraine, and Norway recently concluded a conference focused on the return of Ukrainian children, detained civilians, and prisoners of war. Meanwhile, DG ECHO continues to fund humanitarian assistance across various regions of Ukraine. World Vision maintains three active offices in Ukraine, supporting conflict-affected populations.

Escalating attacks persist, placing pressure on livelihoods despite favorable harvest prospects. The unlawful deportation of children and detention of civilians remain grave consequences of the conflict.

Crisis outcomes are anticipated in frontline and Russian-occupied areas, with stressed outcomes expected in other government-controlled frontline and near-frontline regions. Over 1.4 million people are internally displaced within the country.

Specific details regarding the outcomes or commitments made during the conference on returning Ukrainian children and civilians are not yet covered in recent reporting.
