A powerful poignant letter that shows the world what this war has done to the children of Ukraine. A war that continues to wreck lives and steal childhood.
Don’t look away but look at the truth and stand with Ukraine.

Greetings Yaroslava. Yes children do deserve joy, even more so in times of war. So do the adults.
It’s been grey and raining all morning here too, but the sun is peeking through the clouds now.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

I’ve just been reading about this and I agree with you. I think President Zelenskyy is handling this well.
We are with you. 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Quite right! This ridiculous proposal is completely unjust and unacceptable.
