Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began Russia has stolen at least 19,546 Ukrainian children have been stolen by Russia, with numbers likely to be far higher. It is a systemic mass abduction campaign with the aim of wiping out Ukraine's future identity. It is a clear example of genocide.
We want the campaign to be as impactful as possible, so we can advocate effectively for the return of Ukraine's children. However, this will only be possible with your support. Please do consider donating to us, as every penny will make a difference.
Our organisation is run by our directors on a not-for-profit basis. We have a track record in work in the UK Parliament, which we want to use to support Ukraine. We are supported by an Advisory Board of Parliamentarians and work closely with the Yashchenko Foundation on frontline aid.
The UK Friends of Ukraine was founded following the One Year Anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We want to keep up the momentum in terms of support from the UK during the years ahead and after the war through the reconstruction effort.
To improve Anglo-Ukrainian relations for businesses, stakeholders and politicians. We will also work with charities and community groups delivering aid to Ukraine as well as supporting educational projects across the two countries.
Our projects are only possible with support. Generous donations fund our work, including key deliveries of humanitarian aid to partners in Ukraine.
