and providing them with the necessary assistance, whether monetary or providing access to services, a network of community-based resilience centers is also developing in ukraine, and unicef is also supporting them in establishing services. in addition, we pay attention to children who need alternative forms of family care, such as foster care or adoption, so on the international day of the family on may 15, we are together with the government, the office of the president, the coordination center for guardianship and care. and the ministry of social affairs

politicians have launched the digo webpage, which allows prospective adopters or foster parents to access information about children in need , as well as educational materials, to make the process as efficient and easy as possible. according to our estimates, about 130,000 children in ukraine have complex protection needs, and approximately 700,000 children need improved access to social services. today, about 28,000 children are in orphanages and...

boarding schools, so we focus on providing better care, and we want these children to have better alternatives. most of them have living parents or other relatives. so with the help of proper child protection and social services for families, it is possible to run ... their divorce, which is extremely important, because research shows that even one day spent in an orphanage or similar institution can harm the child's long-term development. because the number of children with disabilities is increasing due to the war. we combine

various reforms, in particular with regard to the inclusive one education by providing more inclusive basic services for children, fewer children with disabilities end up in residential or similar institutions. this is part of a wider reform. and the eu integration agenda, as well as our emergency humanitarian response. for example, in kharkiv, 113 children are currently in foster families, or so-called small group homes. but they are needed due to the security situation. organization of evacuation

and all necessary support is provided by unicef together with local authorities. the month of june has been declared global parenting month, during which we focus on... awareness, the impact of protection and love. what activities are you planning this month and what is your organization doing to make this period of time particularly important and meaningful. parenthood month is held every year. and unicef aims to highlight the important role that parents and carers play in ensuring the well-being and... as you know,

it is very important for children, especially young children, that parents are emotionally involved. this is not only about providing basic needs, such as breastfeeding and the necessary support, but also the development of emotional bonds, the more time parents spend with their children, both moms and dads, the better prospects for the child's development in the long term. we know that during the last trimester of pregnancy and the first thousand days of a child's life, i.e. from approximately zero to three years, the development of the child and its brain

takes place in such a way that if you miss this period, nothing can be made up in the future. this is a crucial period of the child's development, which affects his future life. so we are using this month as an opportunity to bring this important information to parents and educators and encourage them to spend more time on their children's development, especially in the early years. at the same time, we know that parenting is a long-term process that requires targeted support until children become adults. there is also

a special group of adolescent children, aged 10 to 14-16, who need special attention. this age group is unique in terms of how teenagers behave and socialize. during the war, when mental health and psychosocial support are increasingly complex. it is very important that parents and relatives are close to them, helping to alleviate anxiety. and anxiety that adolescents may feel even if they do not overtly show that they need better emotional relationships. we conducted a survey among different population groups and

found out that parents of children aged three to six consider preschool age to be particularly difficult. 76% of respondents claim that they cannot send their children to kindergarten, which directly affects their development to address this issue and to encourage parents and stakeholders to do more in this area, we are promoting parenting month among parents and the general public. unicef joined the book arsenal book festival and the children's film festival, which will be held in different cities of the country. such activities contribute to a better

understanding of the importance of early development of children. we explain. why are the early years critical ? why children need parental support. and why investing in children, especially at an early age, is fundamental for any nation. for ukraine, in the conditions in which we are, and which have been affected by the war for a long time, this is the greatest. investment that a country can make. often the recovery effort focuses on infrastructure, such as road repairs and rebuilding, which is certainly important, but if we do not invest in early childhood and children in time, we will not

be able to recover and build a better country. the war will eventually end, but huge problems with mental and psychological problems will remain. ukrainian children for more than two years going through a traumatic experience, all these massive rocket attacks, air raids, violence, isolation, forced displacement, separation from family, sometimes loss of loved ones, interruption of education and other services and access to these services. even if the war ended

today, the psychological health and social well-being of children and future generations would be extremely difficult. and will need our attention for decades to come. i will give another example. according to our estimates, because of the war, the children of the frontline workers districts spent 2,800 to 500 hours in storage, basements and shelters due to air alarms. what this means for their future well-being and mental health. also imagine that the war is over and... do not return to their families with the stress and difficult experience they

have been through. how will it affect families, how will it affect children? we already have existing psychological health and psychosocial support programs aimed at children and adolescents. we really cooperate with the ministry of health. and other institutions. we joined the national tiyak program. we work to ensure that children have an equipped space and access to psychological support. to talk about the problems they face. that is why we offer mixed classes where, in addition to learning, children can also. receive psychological support. in

the long term, we will need targeted and professional support. we cooperate with institutions abroad, in particular in germany and other countries. to use their expertise in this area. we cooperate with local universities, with public institutions to have specialized psychiatric services for children and to ensure the availability of basic psychosocial support services. today we have mobile teams that go to frontline communities and offer. social support for children and families. we also provide more specialized services. together with

the ministry of health, we are discussing the possibility of expanding the support network related to mental health on the basis of hospitals. we are working with the ministry of education and science to make all of this a part comprehensive work in schools. we train specialists, medical workers, teachers, and also offer support to social workers in communities and involve them. this is the work we are doing now, and we are convinced that we will continue to move in this direction in the coming years. it is extremely important that mental health and. social support were included in the package of services in all areas, for example, we made sure that

the life sustainability centers created by the ministry of social policy included elements of psychological and psychosocial support for children and parents. we will continue this work through the education system. in the field of health care, we have to make sure that children have access to different services, or that young people are able to. visit youth centers that can offer them support. also, during the war, in railway stations, in many frontline areas, we created children... or common points that provide a child-friendly environment where they can play and where we give them back the childhood stolen by the war. thank you for this interesting conversation, i sincerely appreciate your help and for the fact that you help ukrainian children in this difficult time for all of us. thank you.

media center, mr. valery, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, so june 27 where the first round of pre-election debates between joe biden and donald trump took place, they took place in the cnn studio. and lasted 90 minutes, this was a rare case, because both biden and trump do not yet have the official status of candidates from their parties, but this debate has already taken place in advance, who do you think, mr. valeriu, looked more convincing at this debate, trump or biden ? i will start by saying that you are right, this is not a rare case, it is a first. seems to be the case from that first telecast between nixon and kennedy, where nixon was not the candidate at the time overestimated the importance of the television image, and

it really affected the outcome of the election, after that there were many cases when the debate did not affect the outcome of the election, i will remind you, even the candidate barack obama with romney, mit romney lost, but won the election. that is, in principle, by and large , debates and elections should not be equated, the result is the first position, the second point is that such debates are early, here the question must be asked, why they took place at the initiative of the democrats. frankly, i tried to answer this question for myself, and then, when they were announced, it was a different situation, of course. and then they wanted to show, just after all these lawsuits, they probably wanted to bring candidate donald trump to these

debates. perhaps this was the intention, but in any case, i can say right away that the political technologists of the democrats, not only joseph biden, they really failed, because they already knew the situation on the eve of the debate day, and the less they took this step, there are many questions, very many questions, because this was an optional debate, even when a boxing match, you know, is planned there, tickets are sold out, it happens that it is canceled, postponed, because there are 75 days later, well, such mandatory debates in september on the eve of the elections, so it is mysterious to me why, knowing a lot what is the result, but the result... it is clear and everyone said it, i mean the impression, the impression from the debate is not in favor of joseph beh, everyone said it, all the american

media, by the way, this is another question, why the american media emphasized the impression and not on the content, not on those issues that bother the democratic voter, so it seems to me that this was some kind of test, some kind of touchstone that they decided to do earlier in order to have time for some important further decisions in the campaign, well, you have to keep in mind that it is possible to replace biden, because the nomination will be the main one in august, but the new york times, after watching these debates, writes that after the debates in the united states of america, the democrats talked about the possible replacement of biden with another candidate. in the elections, according to the publication biden's speech has been called unconvincing due to constant excuses, a weak voice and an inability to clearly present the party's position on

key party issues. in order to win, the man who was on the stage trump cannot win, the fear of trump, stifled criticism of biden, now that fear will fuel calls for his removal as a candidate, the new york times quoted a senior biden staff member, but already during the other day there was information that representatives of biden's staff are saying that none, none there are no intentions to remove biden from the race, now there is no headquarters, and... well, the question here is that if you replace biden with someone else, then it means demonstrating that the current president of the united states of america, well, is not quite fit and not suitable for the presidential race , that this is also basically a losing proposition for the democrats or not? well, you mentioned only one of the points, i will return to the key question, will they consider different candidacies? first of all, now emotions, really everyone's impressions. composed,

but i'll tell you, i've seen these debates more than once, so what expected? i am very surprised that someone expected something different, that is, everything was predicted, and the way both candidates are behaving today, and they read all their preparations, by the way, ukraine did not sound in such a complicated version, thank god, it became one of the issues of the debate, the issue of support for ukraine, well , no matter what it is, donald trump has specifics, but nevertheless, it became one of the key ones, it interrupted even in the other middle east , not even about china talked about taiwan, everyone talked about the war in europe, about the position of europe, the usa, the importance of supporting ukraine, in what way, stopping the war, that is, it is very good that it is precisely in this way, i consider it constructive. styles

were discussed, so if you look at the content, at the content, well relatively speaking, if you listened to the radio, debates, you would get a slightly different picture, and there were moments, of course, but moments, mainly, if you looked closely at the arguments, to named numbers, facts, they were not surprised by these facts, that is, that's why i i say, it's very strange that these debates took place now, so what's next... it's not such a simple question, i think that emotions will go away a little, everyone will see measurements, sociological measurements, everyone will now rush, of course, to make measurements, unlike in ukraine, where it is difficult, because war is a well-established business in america, and there they still believe in the reliability of data, well, many very sociological structures conduct it, that is , we will have it literally through, well, fresh. in

the tracks now there is no such impression as we have. 80% of joseph biden voters said that they did not change their point of view completely. i don't know what there, there, others, because the numbers are not given in a different way, but we'll see. we will have a picture in two or three days. if this debate, their impression of it, because i see a lot of emotions around it. if it affects the percentages, seriously, well, let's say, five somewhere. of points, then there may be some movements, and before that, if there is no impact, there will be nothing further, this is firstly, secondly, without the decision of joseph biden , there are practically no further options, because he received colossal voter support during the primaries, so without his refusal to participate in the elections, nothing will happen, of course, if he suddenly follows... such a scenario,

the us electoral system is very complicated there, but it allows at the convention in august on august 19, to make difficult decisions, i would say, even the candidates are known there are four today, two governors, california and michigan, and the first one, of course, i think, after all, kamala harris, and well, everyone there always takes into account arabtom, michelle obama with... will change his point of view, but this is all very hypothetical, i think that, of course, the easiest option is to rehabilitate as much as possible at the debates in september, because i will remind you that the last election, when they were at the debates, then there were two rounds, because there was no third one due to covid, then at these debates he won two times joseph biden, so in principle it is possible that

it will be difficult for obvious... reasons, but maybe simple.
