In war-torn Ukraine, childhood memories are overshadowed by military play and dangers associated with unexploded ordnance. Varvara Tupkalenko's sons, Andrii and Maksym, have shifted from typical childhood games to exploring war-related remnants like burned-out vehicles. These changes reflect the broader impact of the ongoing conflict, inducing anxiety, depression, and poverty among children. According to a report by Save the Children, the longer the conflict persists, the more likely it is children will grow into a lost generation, deprived of normal experiences and recovery resources.
Childhood memories in Ukraine are now dominated by war; children engage in military games and navigate dangers like unexploded ordnance and abandoned trenches.
The conflict has led to profound emotional impacts on children, fostering anxiety, depression, poverty, and hindered emotional growth, threatening their future prospects.
As the war continues, the possibility of creating a lost generation looms, with children growing up deprived of normal experiences and essential resources.
The last children in the village, once thriving in play, now face a future overshadowed by conflict and the scars of war.
