Ukraine: The Children鈥檚 Story

A year on from Russia鈥檚 invasion, some of Ukraine鈥檚 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鈥檛 or didn鈥檛. 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, they detail the life-changing events of the war and the impact it is having on their day-to-day lives. 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.

Ricky Boleto finds out how the children are coping with living in a country at war.
