Norway Increases Aid for Ukrainian Children’s Rehabilitation
On September 29, 2026, Norway announced a significant increase in aid aimed at supporting Ukrainian children who have been deported. The Norwegian government will allocate 15 million Norwegian crowns (approximately 1.6 million dollars) to UNICEF for the rehabilitation and reintegration of children who have returned to Ukraine.
Additionally, 10 million crowns will be directed to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to assist in tracing missing persons and providing support to detained civilians and prisoners of war. Norway's Foreign Minister, Espen Barth Eide, stated that this initiative is intended to draw attention to the human rights violations committed by Russia, particularly the unlawful deportation of many Ukrainian children who remain in Russia.
This announcement precedes a ministerial conference hosted by Canada in Toronto, co-hosted by Norway and Ukraine, focusing on the issue of deported children.
