“... No victim of war emerges without suffering some kind of loss: A home eviscerated. A loved one vanished. A life snatched away.Yet no one loses as much to war as children — scarred by its ravages for a lifetime. In Ukraine, time is dwindling to prevent another ‘lost generation’ — the oft-used expression not only for young lives taken, but also for the children who sacrifice their education, passions and friendships to shifting front lines, or suffer psychological scars too deep to be healed. The online ticker at the top of a Ukrainian government page, ‘Children of War’ flickers with a grim and steadily rising tally: Dead: 361. Wounded: 702. Disappeared: 206. Found: 4,214. Deported: 6,159. Returned: 50. ...”
Young lives cut short. Families separated. Futures clouded by pain and loss. The trauma of war hangs over a generation of Ukrainian children.
