This U.S. Department of State report outlines ongoing efforts related to the protection and welfare of Ukrainian children affected by the war, with a particular focus on intercountry adoption, trafficking risks, and child protection systems. It confirms that Ukraine continues to suspend intercountry adoptions under martial law, emphasizing the risks of exploitation and the importance of verifying orphan status and prioritizing family reunification in conflict settings. The report also highlights heightened vulnerabilities among institutionalized and displaced children, including those evacuated from residential facilities, who face increased risks of trafficking and inadequate protection. Alongside diplomatic engagement with Ukrainian authorities, the Department of State notes efforts to support programs aimed at locating, returning, and reintegrating children abducted or displaced during the conflict, while acknowledging that no U.S. families have yet been matched with children under adoption processes currently on hold.
