At a meeting of allies on the night of Monday May 23 to Tuesday May 24, 20 countries pledged to provide additional weapons to Ukraine, according to the United States. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion in the country he Three months ago, the children live in particularly precarious conditions.
Continuing to live despite the war is what two young Ukrainian girls do in a basement. They continue their education thanks in particular to their smartphones, but the sirens sometimes bring them back to the reality of the war that is hitting Ukraine. “When the sirens go off or the bombings start, we go downstairs to play. (…) I just want them to stop bombarding us”testifies one of them.
For their parents, it is difficult to project themselves. “What can I plan today? They can bomb us at any time. (…) It is enough that a bomb falls, and we cease to exist”, deplore the father. In this context, the consequences on the psychological and physiological health of children are still difficult to assess. Like other civilians, children have not been spared by the war in Ukraine: more than 200 of them are said to have lost their lives, according to the country’s attorney general.
