#Repost @mfa_ukraine with @use.repost ・・・ 🇺🇦🇺🇸 In the very heart of Washington, D.C., a major action took place in support of Ukrainian children who have been deported or forcibly transferred by Russia during its war against Ukraine.

Symbolizing the children abducted by Russia since the start of the full-scale invasion, 20,000 teddy bears 🧸 appeared on the National Mall near the U.S. Congress. Each one reflects the scale of Russia’s crime.

The opening of the installation, organized by Razom for Ukraine in partnership with the American Coalition for Ukraine, was joined by the Embassy of Ukraine in the United States. More than 120 volunteers helped set the installation up.

Ukraine has already managed to bring back over 2,100 children thanks to the @bringkidsback_ua initiative, but thousands still remain far from home. We are grateful to our American partners for bipartisan and bicameral support on this issue in Congress, as well as to everyone who continues to draw attention to the return of Ukrainian children and the inevitability of accountability for Russia.
