What’s next for the Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia? ?? Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, over 19,546 Ukrainian children have been abducted—illegally taken to Russia, Belarus, and occupied territories. Many face forced adoption, abuse, and “re-education” aimed at erasing their Ukrainian identity. As peace negotiations unfold, the fate of these children remains uncertain. How can the international community ensure their safe return? Join the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center and Razom for Ukraine for a critical discussion: ?? Monday, March 31, 2025 ? 10:00 AM ET ?? Virtual Event ?? Hear from experts tracking these crimes and pushing for repatriation. ?? Learn about the role this crisis plays in US-Ukraine-Russia negotiations. ??

Recently, Special Envoy Steven Witkoff—who serves as one of President Donald Trump’s chief negotiators with Russia—claimed that occupied regions like Donbas are "Russian-speaking" and that residents want to be under Russian rule—false narratives frequently used by the Kremlin to justify Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. ?? But the stories of millions of displaced Ukrainians make clear that Russia’s occupation only continues through violence and repression. Writers like Olena Stiazhkina, Stanislav Aseyev, Volodymyr Rafeyenko, and Serhiy Zhadan have documented the reality of Russian occupation in Donetsk and Luhansk—stories of survival, resilience, and loss. ??Swipe to explore their books, understand the reality of Russia’s brutal occupation, and share them. Literature is a powerful tool for truth and advocacy. ??Support and spread the word about Razom Literature to ensure Ukrainian voices are heard. ??Learn more about Ukrainian books at https://lnkd.in/gtdmTF68 #Razom #RazomforUkraine #RazomLiterature #RazomConnect

Razom x UActive: Empowering Ukraine’s Next Generation of Leaders ???? War has forced Ukraine’s youth to grow up fast. At just 14-16 years old, they’ve lived through occupation and loss. But they’re not waiting for change—they’re making it. UActive, a program by the savED foundation with Razom’s support, equips Ukrainian teens from frontline and de-occupied communities with the tools to lead, rebuild, and inspire. ?? Building Skills for Action In just four months, 190 teens learned project management, budgeting, public speaking, and fundraising. Then they designed real projects to rebuild their communities. At the final pitch, 10 teams secured funding to turn ideas into solutions. ?? Why It Matters Rebuilding isn’t just about infrastructure—it’s about the people. Shaped by war, these teens have emerged with strength, resilience, and a vision for a better Ukraine. UActive empowers them to drive change, and their commitment is inspiring. ?? What’s Next? These projects will roll out this spring. Stay tuned—we’ll showcase the results soon. You won’t want to miss what these teens are building! Razom is proud to support initiatives like UActive because Ukraine’s future depends on the people who will shape it. ? #Razom #RazomRelief #YouthLeadership #UActive #RebuildingUkraine #savED

?? Putin’s decree from March 20, 2025 is another step in Russia’s campaign to erase Ukrainian identity. Forcing Ukrainians to accept Russian citizenship or face expulsion isn’t just an atrocity—it’s a war crime. This isn’t a “legalization” process, it’s coercion at its worst. ?? More than 19,546 Ukrainian children have been abducted. They’re being torn from their families, their roots, and their future in Ukraine. This is a crime that must not be ignored. ?? The reality: According to Ukrainian officials and human rights organizations, 3 to 3.5 million Ukrainians live under occupation, with 2.8 million forcibly deported, and 1.5 million children at risk of permanent separation from Ukraine. For Ukrainians in occupied territories, staying home means both physical danger from constant bombing and shelling and the risk of being legally bound to the occupiers. Yet Ukrainians refuse to be erased. Despite everything, as we hear daily from our grantees on the frontlines, they continue to resist. At Razom, we stand with them. We stand with those still in the occupied territories. We stand with the children ripped from their homes. Let’s not stay silent. This is a crime and we can’t look away. ?? Support Ukraine. Demand accountability. Stand with us. ????

In Ukraine, teachers, engineers, and artists—mothers and fathers—put their lives on the line as first responders and frontline medics to defend their country. The full-scale invasion has forced thousands of people into new roles that require medical knowledge they may not have. Imagine finding yourself on the front line, where split-second decisions mean the difference between life and death. That’s why delivering the right equipment is only part of the equation. Without proper training, even the best tools can’t save lives. Razom ensures that rescuers, first responders, and combat medics receive the highest-quality emergency medical training possible. These trainings are in full swing. If you’ve been following us, you’ve seen how vital they are. But we need your help to keep them going. Every day, more lives are at stake. Every day, your support can help save them. What are we doing? ?? Training rescuers in life-saving skills they’ll use in real crises. ?? Following international TCCC standards and simulating realistic emergencies. ?? Building the muscle memory that makes saving lives instinctive. Every rescuer trained is a future lifesaver.

Your support isn’t just training rescuers—it’s equipping Ukraine’s future with the skills to survive and rebuild. #Razom #RazomHeroes #TacticalMedicine #SavingLives #Ukraine

400,000 scans & counting ?? At Razom Health, data drives impact. Since 2022, we’ve worked with Butterfly Network, Inc., Inc to track our POCUS (Point-of-Care Ultrasound) efforts across Ukraine. This year, we’ve reached a major milestone—400,000 scans performed. In hot zones, access to fast, reliable diagnostics can mean the difference between life and death. Many hospitals and medics operate in challenging conditions—without stable electricity, with limited access to traditional imaging, and under constant pressure to make split-second decisions. That’s where portable ultrasound comes in. ?? 400,000 moments when doctors detected internal bleeding with no other imaging available. ?? 400,000 opportunities for medics to master life-saving ultrasound skills. ?? 400,000 lives impacted—because rapid, portable diagnostics save lives. We’re not just using ultrasound; we’re building Ukraine’s future in medical diagnostics. From emergency responders to hospitals to medical schools, POCUS is becoming a core part of training and care. ?? But this isn’t just about Ukraine—it’s about the global future of medical diagnostics. Portable, accessible, and immediate healthcare has the power to transform how we respond to crises worldwide. #Razom #RazomForUkraine #POCUS #ButterflyNetwork #MedicalEducation #SavingLives
