KFF attends conference “Three Years, Countless Futures: Protecting Freedom and Ukraine’s Children”
On February 21, KFF attended the “Three Years, Countless Futures: Protecting Freedom and Ukraine’s Children” conference at the Ukraine Center, marking the third year of Russia’s war against Ukraine. The event brought together global leaders, policymakers, and experts to address the devastating impact of war on Ukraine’s children – and focus on solutions.
President of Lithuania Gitanas Nauseda opened the event, reaffirming Lithuania’s unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty. Remarks from First Lady of Lithuania Diana Nausediene followed reflecting deep and heartfelt concern for the situation in Ukraine. First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska welcomed guests with a video address. Conference speakers discussed:
- The forced deportation and illegal adaptation of Ukrainian children and the psychological trauma they face,
- Local and international support systems for their recovery and reintegration,
- The role of Lithuania and global partners in rebuilding lives of returned Ukrainian children.
For several years now, we have proudly supported the Ukraine Center particularly through summer camps for displaced children, ensuring they receive care, learning opportunities, and the stability they deserve. Through our foundation’s focus on education, social welfare, and youth, we continue to support displaced Ukrainian children and we will continue to stand with Ukraine.
