In a statement, UNICEF said that the military operation in Ukraine haved posed an immediate and growing threat to the lives and well-being of the country’s 7.5 million children.

"Humanitarian needs are multiplying – and spreading by the hour. Children are terrified, in shock, and desperate for safety. Hundreds of thousands of people are on the move, most of them women and children. Many families are becoming separated from their loved ones," said the UNICEF.

The past eight years of conflict have inflicted profound and lasting damage to children on both sides of the line of contact.

In eastern Ukraine, where UNICEF and partners have worked for the past eight years, thousands have been without safe water due to damage to infrastructure, its said.
