Silent protest with 20,000 teddy bears for Ukrainian children in Washington
Washington, April 25 (Hibya) - At an event held on the National Mall near the U.S. Congress, 20,000 teddy bears were displayed to draw attention to children forcibly taken during the Russia-Ukraine war.
A large-scale awareness event was held in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, to highlight children who were forcibly taken or separated from their families during Russia’s war against Ukraine.
At the installation on the National Mall, 20,000 teddy bears were displayed, each symbolizing a missing child. The event aimed to draw attention to child abduction cases since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
The event was organized by Razom for Ukraine and the American Coalition for Ukraine, with participation from the Embassy of Ukraine in the U.S. More than 120 volunteers took part in the installation process.
Although Ukraine has managed to return more than 2,100 children under the “BringKidsBackUA” initiative, it is stated that thousands of children are still separated from their families.
The event aimed to highlight both bipartisan support in the U.S. and international calls for the return of the children and for those responsible to be held accountable.
