“The Lost Childhood” Photo Exhibition at the EU Delegation

Over 12,600 civilians, including 669 children, have been killed in Ukraine since 24 February 2022. “The Lost Childhood” exhibition is dedicated to children that have lost their lives during Russia's war of aggression, written by their families. They are children of different ages who will never grow up, from the unborn to almost adults, from different parts of Ukraine. Starting on 24 February, the EU Delegation displayed the photo exhibition in its premises. It served as a somber reminder of the human cost of the conflict and reinforced our collective call for peace.
