over the months they were here. the russians really changed for the worse than i'm just disgusted at the thought that they were moving around and eating in my house. i mean, at least he didn't sleep here with the full doesn't look dollars relo to put in the witness carlo. they just destroy things for the sake of it, him on the road with lucille and lib, lib liberal. but the impact on this community goes far beyond looted homes. wiley, locals, tennessee. they were kidnapped and detained in sellers for days on end. accused by the russians of helping the ukrainian military, several residents still missing fit, killed. a priest arrives the neighboring village, which supplies for those who have lost almost everything. yeah. but it's not food or money that the locals are asking for us. who am i and what was a look for to have the people here need tranquilizers who are, who many of them have lost everything diversity that they spent

a lifetime saving for wallace with this, with their houses, sought their cars. it's all gone into separate from you both shows as the damp seller where she her husband and her neighbors spent some of the coldest nights the you know, the truth. good. national geographic douglas. we weren't just hearing the shelling . we could feel it. everything was shaking me all the way and then all we could do is pray that it wouldn't hit us. we just kept praying to both tells us she and every one she knows is exhausted. her watching me or was waiting for something. they can't quite define unable to ever let go. marsden, we said we didn't used to understand what it was that people and don boss, have been going through all these years stuck in their salary. the last month has taught us what war is, is names listed, okay? for now, the russian army has been pushed back more than a 100 kilometers, but the fear they might return suddenly, as they appeared, is never far away. ah, the war has left deep, emotional scars,

especially on children. psychologists in western ukraine are trying to treat their traumas and overcome their own in the process when words fail, pictures sometimes help. 4 weeks live eats largest psychiatric clinic has been treating more and more children with severe war trauma. but selina comes from heart keith, she saw rockets destroy her hometown and killed many people. she was evacuated, but her parents remain in the embattled city. what are you drawing right? no. this is the ukrainian flag way. i your drawing the ukrainian flag. and because we will win him, the therapist say that's drawing helps many children to process their experiences. they often cannot talk about it. but even small children perceive the terrible things around them. i will movies, will you? my parents and grandparents often try to gently explain to the children what is

going on. well then sometimes they act like it's all just an exercise of a game or something. but when the children reply, no, we live in a war with this is a real war out here. the dina watch hurts the doctor. most the children are constantly searching for explanations for the horror. and many begin to doubt themselves. really need you to do sometimes the kids think that this has something to do with their behavior that it just happened because they did something wrong with. what did we then try to explain to them that they live in a free, independent country. we didn't break any borders, we didn't behave aggressively towards other countries, warmer. so it's not their fault at all. you can, you, in the process of the children often have sleeping disorders, who would sway since become a prophetic. many ask every day if they can ever go back to their own lives. i'm so sorry about my country. i used to live in such a beautiful city. now everything is destroyed. oh, ok. sign us

t and tries to reach out to the children with games and music. and they are often amazed about the resilience of the young patients. remember this week, but that sometimes we ask ourselves who is treating whom all, are we treating them or they treating us to me. it works in both directions, even if they give us so much of a of if they weren't with us, we would be much worse off more than on behalf of his of overflow. santa has learned through her work that dr. sort of gift children false hope. the situation is bad, and unfortunately, the most innocent of all will probably have to live with this for a long time. ah, a foreign country, a foreign language. children who have fled from ukraine to germany, faith major challenges. teachers, welcome them at school. is
