a way more from you just a moment, alina, welcome to the stream, please introduce yourself to our audience around the world. hello, i'm a learner. i'm the deputy director general of ukrainian red cross. we are the national organization working in the ground, conducting a big emergency operation in the corners of ukraine. and i'm based in the midst of this is central ukraine. i'm based here i, i moved from kia here because i'm 999 months pregnant. so i have to have access to medical services. that's why i'm here now, but i continue to work. right. thank you very much. i was up to the last minute. congratulations and james. welcome to the stream. these introduce yourself to audience around the world. emmy. hey, and yeah, alina, congratulations, i'm sorry for the time, but still a baby. well play and galena. hi, this or? yeah, my name is james elder. i'm eunice global spokes person. i'm here in the west of

ukraine. i've been here pretty much, is the war started just talking to people sharing stories. it's got wrenching to be honest and watching, you know, says response across the country are drones, alina and galena. i line up. ok. so if you are watching on youtube and you would like to ask them specific questions about youngsters and children from ukraine, comment section is right here, answer questions or comments in that i will wrap them up in today show. i'm james. i used the statistic that came basically from unit that every 2nd of every day, a child from ukraine becomes a refugee, or they are displace. that is a huge number. we're talking about world war 2 numbers here. yes, i mean it's mind boggling ion off and really reluctant to be honest to use numbers . i don't think big numbers bring big compassion. this one though, i saw the chart you talking about in for 5 weeks. don't forget, 6 weeks ago,

the vast majority of this entire country kids were in playground at school with grandparents moms walking brands, kids in schools, now wanting to every single boy and girl in this country's been displaced by the war. and when we say this place, let's not forget, we're talking about under bombardment, we're talking about boys and girls. you know, running to bunkers no school. the lesson today is this is one of the rates are and sounds like. quit flee bed to a bunker. that's what displacement looks like. and yeah, numbers we have not seen and living memory, not since world war 2. and what does it look like where you all think done? i did. i'm sure i didn't get a question. yeah. what does it look like to describe what it is like for children just in the past few weeks, had a life been turned upside down. so where you on ukraine, how a children function, how are they doing? well, i will speak to your more about families, not specifically children, because we are targeting adults. are young children,

older like elderly people, everybody, all the categories of people. actually the situation is different in different parts of ukraine. what we see in the this is something horrible. this is a humanitarian calamity. because a people including children have to stay in bomb shelters. unfortunately, i have, i will have to speak about horrible things. they have to stay there under constant sharing and bombing because if they go outside their bomb shelters, they will be killed on the streets immediately. and they have to stay there without food, water, electricity, of course, not well, connection and anything. so the situation is horrible. what we see in the close to the center of the west of ukraine. we see mess, you know, people are trying to find a place here. we are talking about those 6500000 of internally displaced people, women and children from the ukraine. they have such

a possibility and we try to support them organizing center places for them. men have to stay in the country because of the marshal. well, that is why needs are different in different parts of ukraine. for instance, if you need to cross the border to flee the country to western western countries, you have to stay at the border crossing point for a couple of days up to 4 days. it was at the very beginning of the conflict escalation. and these were mothers and children without anything would with world close anything. so we are trying to do our best to support the people in the west, in center and on the bombing which has its challenges for us. of course, when i'm thinking that the children and families are playing to keep their kids safe, but we can't keep them safe and mental stress and mental trauma. talk to us about that and what you're able to do and what you're trying to help with youngsters with

families who are displaced right now. well as the ukrainian red cross, now we do not have a messy response in terms of support of a mental health. yeah. i mean, i was going to share that with alina, because that is exactly how she, i'm just going to share it with you. ok. panelists galena go ahead. yes, absolutely. and somehow how did, when all that these would happen? and that's exactly what we started working on and right away, trying to put together the grass roots pulling on personal connections, pulling together least of people who would be able to step in, but not necessarily in place because he graham colleagues are also overwhelmed. they need support, so people of from abroad stepped in and trying to support the line and we were inventing things. for as days we were inventing things,

coming up with the leaflets. and i met with parents. i think it was they think so the word that was my 1st meeting with the group of parents in keith and they overwhelmed me with questions i had no answer because in my professional life here and i work in some crisis situations with post 911 families post than the in york seated. i never saw anything like that. i don't know yet. now i know. what do you do when you're run? there is a bombing. what do you do with the oldest child? if they have to go to a shelter, but the child was told that they cannot leave the apartment because adventurous outside. what do you know? how do you come down? how do you help them model calm down so that he comes down a lot of down regulation,

but people can't down regulate and become because they can't afford to become the war. they in danger, they need to be hyper vigilance. but how do they do it with the key? how do they, how they keep coming out? so it's, it's really complex. i'm going to pick and i think that it, no, i just think i am with you guys on a pretty heroic to like, ok, you cannot. i think elena was spot on to talk about when kids are in bunk isn't part of the country. that's what's happening. yeah let's. they are being shy. i'm in a girl in a hospital here, levine 3 hours ago who 1314 who's been shot run has been through operations and. and now dealing with that for my father was shot. he's back and give but it's important to, to stay to justice. you know, it's not keisha is heroic level of ukrainians. and as galena is saying, like in terms of what parents do to reduce that stress. i've seen thousands of

parents just hold it together even though in moms and dads, economy embracing that moment because i go to separate or parents who talk about that they tell their kids now don't, while the bombs, that's actually fi words, they try and dress it up in some sort of a guy and we've seen that. yeah. i've seen that in syria. it's extraordinary. the links parents will go jobs. i've been doing autistic center. where again, the themes moms go through galena says i, your logo to see kids campaign bunkers because a spice they certainly can't deal with that noise. you've got these moms who, who find a way around it. so that level of heroic nature from the moms of this country or the grandparents were volunteering or people trying to, asians saying you've been here right in out in the snow. do you want to bed? that's extraordinary. but you feel this to me, the fact as well on people because you know that miss are on stopping. i'm going to bring in a, a new voice into our conversation and that new voice comes from an organization

known as a casual foundation voices of children. we spoke to the had just a few hours ago. i haven't listened children react in the most understandable way. they ask and asked why should a left my school? why should i left my room, my whole, my friends? and to be honest, we didn't know what to do with the answer to them and parents don't know. so what we do now is we try to give proper support lakes and psychologists like a group sessions, individual sessions like full keats and for parents also to give them to give them the support to go through this time very hard time. and to understand that there was this can be normal life in i can see you nodding at the best of times, young stairs, want to know why, why is, is happening. why is that there? why we doing this? how do you also the why question in a conflict?

well, it's a one to speak to chill. it's important to be honest, but it's a want to say something that the child would understand because the whole situation is mind boggling for adults as well. but they need to file simple words drawn from their child's vocabulary to be able to explain, to say something that makes sense. and adding something can you little bit at a time because that these children need to survive this war. these children is our future, future generations. it's scary to think about the future with so many trauma guys. he's with this whole nation from guys with these kids. are believing ukraine and kids and adults around them. also hearing these stories and this is secondary

trauma, professionals are from does to something good, but just let out at me, james. and i'm just gonna share this with all of our audience is on twitter here. this is a tweet from the united nations secretary general for predators and human traffickers . the war in ukraine is not a tragedy. it's an opportunity. and women and children are the targets, the urgently need safety and support every step of the way. so on top of the trauma, the stress, the living through conflict, there is a danger, an added danger, james thought was about that. what is eunice have able to do that's a high oven doevema, ukrainian colleagues here and, and, and they do like i did as a day and in a few hours with their families, they despised and then cover our slave. if anything is to keep us all awake at night, it's trafficking. i'm trafficking exploitation look at the end of the day. the way

it is panned out. i, when i was in love it, it's a jumping off point to pollen. so i spent a lot of time that brought up which the early stages was 50 helloman. ready a cause and sometimes 67 hours of people walking across in the snow. i so grand mom's grandmother's primes war he so you know, to 1000000 kids in the space of the mouth. now again, again, numbers a tricky syria crisis is horrendous and ongoing. it took 2 and a half years to reach the tragic milestone of a 1000000 kids 2 and a half years out of syria. it took 2 weeks here. so predators have this moment, there is in the board, which is open and that was the right thing to do at that moment. but we need now to get a protective space. they need robust policing in a police forces to be combined organizations like, you know, so yeah, we train people, you know, trying volunteers to know to look for to understand the people putting out sign, saying, prod, berlin, warsaw, not all of them have good intentions. 99 percent do maybe 99.9 percent,

so still it's problematic. so messaging, social media, radio, all those things. but let's be honest and he got full 1000000 people who fled and trafficking exists in europe. so it's a to her renders. ready thought and policing is a big part of it. now, along with our have a not well, i cannot comment on this particular point because we are not human rights organization will and humanitarian organization. we understand this problem exists between again, we do not invest our effort into it because we are more focused on physical security or mental situ radio. people inside your crate. well, that's a good question too. in terms of coordination with our partners, because as you create a critical work inside ukraine, if we speak about outside ukraine to support it internally displaced people this, these are our partners in polish risk. red cross hungarian cross romanian rich goes

into the continent because we have only the national mandate here in ukraine. we do not observe something very specific for this particular problem. but outside ukraine when women and children of ukraine and go to other parts of other countries . this, this is a problem. what i hear often when i speak to atlanta is that there is, it's a partnership because you can't deal with everything. you can't deal necessarily with strategies for young children about what to know what they do, how they come with the war. you can't nessie deal with trafficking, gillian, your thoughts on trafficking file. i'm just going to show something for our audience so that they know it's not completely hopeless. there's a campaign called the blue dots campaign, which are areas which would be along the border, where a safe space is for families to go, where they know that they can stay safely, and that is run by unicef galena. go ahead. this idea about trafficking also. there were a number of

a lot of children's homes in ukraine. what happens to children's hubs during a conflict situation? oh wow. so many layers, but i do, i happen to know about blue dots about the early childhood initiative, but i don't know if saturdays. no. i don't know, i wouldn't know how are they directed? what happens there? and how can anyone direct and they so many families be in different directions and some how they make it to the water and then they cross the border and they kind of disappear. and i understand that countries early childhood center is definitely overwhelmed. i'm a part of the email. 1 thread and i can see how center that grumbling, not enough people to work with these kids to work. not enough people with language proficiency. and i wonder if families once again my wonder families know about the

buddha problem. james? well, the way, yeah, look, the said, the way, the blue dos work is a day strategic a pot across area. so you kind of can't miss them because it's when you go through a border or it's when you get to a train station. so they are in those kind of key key places for people offering services information to manage a bright vaccination services and so on. so they're in the strategic strategic places. but then we can, i just, you know, i just want to ask alina just on a personal little, one of the things it's moved me to most here is i was out maternity hospital in levine and this eric time and all who was down in the bunker again, and there were always pregnant women who were all pregnant as you alayna and, and it was really movie, you know, they, they've come from care of and they've separated from family and they hear, but they want to stay here. but they know that having babies the way and i know

they have a babies in war time and they're in bunk, is as well, by the way, one of these we're doing is as, you know, getting sergio from across the country. because in this insanity, women having babies in bunkers, but i just want to ask you, if you don't mind like is a, are you a 1st time a 2nd time? i'm how are you feeling as you cried in about 2, about to give birth amidst all this? well, this maternity leave, this maternity is very specific for me because i never thought it would be like this. i know they this for the 1st time i'm pregnant for his time. i'm separated from my husband and from my father. they stayed in keith. i moved here in central ukraine. i do not have a possibility now to go on maternity leave because this is marcia law and her social for security. things do not work properly now. so i do not have a possibility to leave my job and to have rest, which i definitely need because i am always the overtime sleep and very tight. so i

have to continue working and i need her to continue working because we have this big emergency response. i do not have here proper medical follow up because the city is flooded with pregnant women from other ukraine. we have long use at hospitals. i can give birth at any moment, but the only thing the thing that i'm thinking about things, god, i'm alive and i'm not in money, will a story to mention that because you, you know, probably the attack on maternity hospital in kia, for instance, women are delivering babies in underground use as well shelters, so i'm more or less lucky, but without proper medical and social follow up, that's the problem. it, this is the thing is that this is what so disgusting in this in all was, are their own vicious but, but we're talking like 70 plus medical and hospital facilities now being targets,

you know, that will be heat. that's not, that's not a normal number. and anyone has any level of kind of attacks in anything other than relentlessly indiscriminate. so it seems to me, when i say, as you say, mary ball, but also chin and yet chin help have and other places. it seems to me that that warfare is changed from here when we look at syria recently, and our children are constantly in the front lines. and like you are pointing to the other that we keep saying medical facilities he or targeted. certainly i say them being, being protected now with levels of, you know, sandbagging and, and we even hear eunice if i've never seen a student anywhere else. we are reinforcing hospital bunkers in san to get a sense of, of just just how doc this is become. there's one more voice i'm going to do as spent skis molina go ahead. go as the and then i'm going to bring in one over by

11 commentary here about hospitals and targeting and relation. i do not think that there aren't conflicts a lake, this particular one, or when the civilian population is the main target of the aggressor. we never saw, we never observed such a massive attacks on hospitals, and i'll get an infrastructure if we compare the numbers of casualties among the civil population and the armed forces of ukraine. so it's a, it's very representative. they mainly seeming ablation, cleanup nation suffers from this armed contract and in particular on medical infrastructure. that's horrible. so earlier we spoke to sir, he lucas shove, who taught us about the work that he's doing down on the ground to make sure that children stay safe. he kind of killers, they say, i want to play his comment and then ask all of our guest is very briefly,

what do you need? what the families in ukraine still need his say? those tuneless religious. i says in education or children, application from what? in the battle zones, at least $143.00 children are killed. probably much more. we are receiving the very disturbing reports of all the must rapes all the lesson girls in the occupy jones. mercy reported that thousands of children from r u. s. around in the area are being deported was off, papers was organization to russia and the disappearing nation for their families. 1000000 and a half of june, already abroad. and our nation is losing future children should be was feminine, was in asia in a closing moment of our show galena alena james name, one thing that children and families need in ukraine galena. go ahead. oh,

before i do that i, i have a comment about what we just saw because, oh, wrong 7 days ago and an old b o we were asked to develop something coming from psychologist. oh, the women to be used as their guide to behavior in i could buy a cd, alina, i'm going to give you the last word. cars are right at the end of the show, general finish. that sentence. yeah. how to be dressed, how to behave, and how not to be rate, which is unthinkable. and this is the big word from you will be saved. alright, safety. i alaina. we wish you every luck and success with your new baby. thank you for both of you being on the string to day refill doubly, bless james and galena. thank you for sharing some insight into how war is impacting the children in ukraine and of course their families. thanks for watching . i see you next time take

of a free, but it's on the 1st come. first serve basis here at the bus station that only a few rides available and that's only to the surrounding villages. so people like for me and rose now need to find another way to get out of the city. but for now, they, like many others, would have to reach and hope, hoping tomorrow is a better day. my name is sandra bar. i'm the foster. i'm in the county. can they do that? we found out with both what the lead the mechanic was shop. you will see that we set the of the off guard like to baby. ah, my nigeria, is it possible you specially, mcdonald cannot pick up my nigeria and women are strong with my, my dear on al jazeera, on april 3rd comm gary will vote and parliamentary elections. but the war in

ukraine has changed. the political landscape. prime minister victor orbit, has long been an ally vladimir putin. his opponent says that poses a security risk for hunger. so will peter mark is always policy good enough seats to when they, with al jazeera, for the latest developments. ah, a reports of shelling on the outskirts of keven chaney, of her day off to russia, said it will reduces a tax near the to city. ah, i'm to clog this is out there, live from de also coming up. 5 people are shot dead, nit. televi bit is the 3rd attacking israel in a week. you as president joe biden science legislation making, lynching up federal hate crime more than a century of the law.
