A cry for help, a message of gratitude and reflections of a world shattered: These are some of the images of war that are emerging from the minds — and hands — of Ukrainian children.
"Now it's not the environment in which we want them to be grown, but it's the reality," Artem Bykovetz said. After Russian troops invaded Ukraine over a month ago, Artem and his wife, Nastia, fled the capital of Kyiv with their two kids. On the way, their 6-year-old, Sonya, drew what she left behind, and what she'd heard about the war. One drawing captures her pet cat, another a Russian ship.Sonya's art inspired her parents to collect drawings from other Ukrainian kids and post them online for everyone to see.A child displays her artwork depicting the war in Ukraine.
"Parents also need some time to silently cry somewhere in the corner," Artem said."So sending them to sit somewhere and turn on their fantasy and put it on the paper, give to the parents also an opportunity to recharge the battery."The couple hopes these creations will show the world the strength and suffering of their country.
"We hope that people looking on these pictures can feel compassion to support kids, to support Ukraine," Nastia said.Ukraine In Turmoil
