War in Ukraine, Through a Child's Eyes

An animation based on actual drawings by 11-year-old Maxym and other Ukrainian children living through the horrors of the Ukraine war.

The children and families of Ukraine have now endured six months of devastation and displacement. Children are caught in the crossfire of ongoing hostilities, while schools, hospitals and other critical infrastructure continue to be damaged or destroyed. Two out of every three Ukrainian girls and boys have been forced to flee their homes. There are 5.2 million children in need of humanitarian assistance in the country.

UNICEF and partners have been on the ground since day one delivering lifesaving aid and protection.
