The trauma of Ukraine's children

Grief, trauma and poverty are affecting millions of Ukrainian children.

Grief, trauma and poverty have become the norm for millions of Ukrainian children after a year of war. James Elder of Unicef has just returned from Lviv and says that the situation is going from bad to worse. And Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Newsround’s Ricky Boleto tells us about the courage of Ukrainian children who are determined to continue their studies despite the war.

We also get an update from Frank Gardner, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ security correspondent, on the situation in Bakhmut and how the war in Ukraine overshadowed talks at the G20 summit of world leaders.

This episode was made by Clare Williamson with Luke Radcliff and Natasha Fernandes. The technical producer was Mike Regaard. The series producer is Fiona Leach. The assistant editor is Alison Gee and the senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
