BBC World News - Ukraine: The Children’s Story

After a year of war, Ukraine’s children share their stories.

A year on from Russia’s invasion, Ukraine’s children share their stories of fear, loss, strength and hope.

The war in Ukraine is the biggest in Europe since World War II. Millions of children have been forced to leave their homes to escape the fighting, but many others couldn’t or didn’t. Hearing from just some of those who are living through war, this film lets the children caught in the conflict tell their stories, in their own words. 

Covering fear, loss, strength and hope, the children detail the life-changing events of the war and the impact it is having on their day-to-day life. They share their experiences of surviving attacks from the air, being forced to live for weeks at a time in bomb shelters and their towns and villages becoming occupied by Russian soldiers. So much of their lives is uncertain right now. Newsround’s Ricky Boleto finds out how the children are coping, living in a country at war.
