Darya Gerasymchuk, Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for Children's Rights and Rehabilitation of Children, reported to members of Congress on numerous violations of children's rights to safety, health, and education caused by the russian federation's aggressive war against Ukraine. She emphasized that only alleged crimes can be investigated, and the real extent of children's rights violations remains unknown. Therefore, she called on local and regional authorities across Europe to support the work of Ukrainian national authorities and UN bodies in reporting and documenting violations of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and, in particular, in identifying children abducted and forcibly deported by the Russian Federation.

She urged members of Congress to continue to support local and regional authorities in Ukraine.
