Ukraine's Kids: Living in a War Zone

A Life of Danger and War

Ukraine's children are not living a normal childhood. They're not playing games or attending school like other kids. Instead, they're learning about danger and war.

• Fields filled with mines and bombs: The areas around their homes are unsafe, planted with explosives by Russian forces.
• No playtime: Kids can't play outside like they used to. They have to be constantly careful.

Schools Closed, Learning Online

• Schools are closed: Children can't go to class.
• Online learning at home: But even at home, they're not safe.
• Air alert sirens: They frequently go off, forcing kids to hide from incoming bombs.

Help is Not Enough

People are trying to help by bringing:

• Food
• Clothes
• Toys
• Messages of hope

But it's not enough. Kids need:

• Safe places to live
• Schools to attend
• Playtime without fear

Strong Kids, Unfair Reality

• Kids are learning to survive: They're strong, but they shouldn't have to be.
• They should be kids: Playing games, learning in school, not living in a war zone.

The War's Toll

• Growing up too fast: Kids are seeing things no child should see.
• Living in a war zone: It's not fair.
