ukraine. the impact of the conflict on them? earlier, we joined up with daughter anastasia, who is a doctor who works with children in keith. this is what she told us. what does it mean dean to do to she now in ukraine means more children and to do know usual work, but you should be ready to walk is out for example, antibiotics, for example, antibiotics and show up emitted in children. and you should walk with me as it moves to walk is out formulas, for example, because i sometimes get those calling you and tell them that they have formula on the foot to fitting and turn next formula. take only in one or 2 days during our conversation. today we have galena, alina and james, good to have all 3 of you with us. galena, please introduce yourself to our international audience. hi, i'm a clinical social worker, psychotherapists i work in new york and from new york. i'm trying my best to

support euclidean mothers and children because i have connections there because i taught there and i consulted there. thank he can lean away more from you just a moment. alina, welcome to the stream, please introduce yourself to our audience around the world. hello, i'm going, i'm deputy director general, ukrainian cross. we are the national the all ukraine are going to zation 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 our audience around the world.

emmy. hey, and yeah, alina, congratulations, i'm sorry for the time, but still a baby. well played, and galena. hi this, so 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 what can, you know, says response across the country out 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 unicef. 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. i often 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 working grand 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 since world war 2. and i know what does it look like, where you all think downstairs i didn't, i'm sorry, 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 were 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 the 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. this in message for loans of 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 central 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 galena because that is exactly how she, i'm just going to share it with you. okay. 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 a list 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 are from a broad step in and frankly,

the 4th in line. and we were inventing things for as days we were inventing things, coming up with the leaflets. and i met with parents. huh. 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 though of course, then the in new 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 it's ventures

outside. what do you know? how do you come down? how the hell do model calm down so that he comes down a lot of down regulation, but people can't bound regulate and because because they can't afford to become, it's the work they endanger. 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 on 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 just this, you know,

it's not keisha is who wrote level of ukrainians and as galena 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 why look 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 the 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 asian saying you've been here right now in the snow. do you want to bed? that's extraordinary. but you feel is to really the fact as well on people because

you know that miss all i'm stopping, i'm going to bring in a new voice into our conversation and that new voice comes from an organization known as accountable foundation voices of children. we spoke to the had just a few hours ago, have a listen. hello. children react in the most understandable way. they asked and asked, why should i 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, likes and psychologists like a group sessions, individual sessions like full keats and prepare and also to give them to give them the support to go through this time. very hard time. and to, to understand that there was, this can be normal life. jenny,

and i can see you nodding at the best of times, young stairs want to know why, why is this 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 new a 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 traumatized here with this whole nation traumatized with these kids

believing ukraine and kids and adults around them. also hearing these stories, and this is secondary trauma professionals, are from this to something good that just let out at me, james, and i'm just going to 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. they 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. talk to us about that. what is eunice? have able to do? that's a highlander, why ukrainian colleagues here and, and, and they do like 8 hours a day, and then a few hours with their families, they despise and then cover. owsley, if a, if anything is to keep

a school 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 to an out. he's out of syria. it took 2 weeks here. so predators have this moment, there is in the borders 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're 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. 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 from and trafficking exists in europe. so it's a to her ran the store. ready and policing is a big part of it. now, elena, go ahead and not well, i cannot comment on this particular point because we are not human rights organization. we align humanitarian organization. we understand that this problem exists between can we do not to invest our effort into it because we are more focused on physical security and 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 recalls,

we work inside ukraine. if we speak about outside ukraine to support it internally displaced people this. these are our apartments in the polish risk redcross hungarian cross romanian ridge apartments. 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 other parts of other countries. this is a problem. when 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 cope with the war. you can't nessie deal with trafficking galena, 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 a 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 you know, i don't know, i wouldn't know how are they directed? what happens there? and how can anyone direct and curved 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 work. not enough people with language proficiency. and i wonder if that was once again my one of the families though about the problem. james? well, the way, yeah, look, the said, the way, the blue dos work is a day strategic 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. and 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 mood, me the most here is i was it 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 i'm 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. either 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 security. things do not work properly now. so i do not have the possibility

to leave my job and to have rest, which i definitely need because i am always overtime sleep. i'm very tired. so i have to continue working and i need her to continue working because we have this big, her emergency response. i do not have here proper medical follow up because the city is loaded with pregnant women from other bottle 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. well, 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 are used as vom 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, isn't it?

this is what so disgusting in this. it all was on 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 cheney chain 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 us do this anywhere else. we're reinforcing hospital bunkers in san to get a sense of, of just just how doc this is become. there's one more voice

alone as state skis, melana go, go as the and then i'm going to bring in one more, 1511 commentary here about hospitals and targeting and relation. i do not think that there are, 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 attack 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 exhibit number ablation, part cleanup nation, suffers from this armed contract, and in particular on medical infrastructure. that's horrible. so earlier we spoke to sir, here lucas shove, who told 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 jewelers religious as is in creation of children education from what? in the battle zones. at least 143 children are killed. probably much more. we are receiving the very disturbing reports of all the must rapes all the address goals in the occupy journals. nursing reports with thousands of children from where you will as around an area are being reported was of papers was authorization to rush and they disappear for a nation for their families. 1000000 and a half of june already brought and our nation is losing future children should be this family was the nation in the closing moment of our show galena alena

james name, one thing that children and families need in ukraine killing the 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 y o we were asked to develop something coming from psychologist. also the women to be used as their guide to behavior in occupied seated alina. i'm going to give you the last word. cars are right at the end of the show, general finished that sentence out to be dress 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 street today refilled, doubly bless,
