The welfare of Ukrainian children is at stake in the current
conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
In 2018 I had the honor and privilege of working with
Ukrainian Social Scientist Irina Chekhovska to research, write, and
publish Child
Policy & National Strength: Restoring Ukraine in the Best Interests of the
Child, in 8 Int’l J. Jurisprudence on the Family (2018).

While the rest of the world may not know it, Ukrainian family
law is one of the most innovative and advanced in Europe. But even
through decades of conflict, invasion, and political and military confusion,
however, Ukrainian national child policy has struggled to be committed to the
welfare of the nation’s children.
Ukrainian children are now caught in this current conflict, yet they deserve protection, a future, and a hope. If the West can help to stem the violence, children of Ukraine may just have a future again, away from this current geopolitical struggle, toward family restoration.
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
