Clarification on Ukrainian Stats

I have found that most stats online were probably true at one point but have been drastically changed so I am posting a link to a post that better clarifies what the orphan status is in Ukraine by someone who serves and lives here. Please check it out!

Karen, thank you for all the work you do in Ukraine and keep fighting for the fatherless!
