Eastern Ukraine: supporting the ‘children of war’
Kostia’s mother Nastia remembers his birth, in 2014 – the same year the conflict began in Donbas — as a very emotional time.
There was active fighting in the area, but the family had nowhere else to go. They remained in their house and tried to protect themselves as best they could.
‘The shells were flying right above us,’ Nastia recalls. While the fighting in the area has since subsided, the residents of Slavne still regularly hear shelling. They still don’t feel safe in their home village.
