The conflict in Ukraine, also known as the War in Donbass, started in April 2014. The conflict arose after protests in Kiev, Ukraine's capital, led to the ousting of the Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
Russia's subsequent annexation of Crimea and the Russian-backed separatist movements in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine led to the conflict.
War…?
Think of it… but it'll be difficult to understand how it feels to face war and sometimes death.
Take a moment and think of it…
The conflict has caused thousands of deaths and displacement of civilians, and a fragile ceasefire has been in place since 2015, but sporadic violence continues.
It's heartbreaking. My Dad told us how he faced the Nigerian Civil War. I cried.

There are various ways to help Ukrainian children, including:
Donating to Reputable Organizations that support children's causes in Ukraine, such as UNICEF, Save the Children, and World Vision.
Volunteering at Local Organizations that work with children, such as orphanages, schools, and community centers.
Supporting Education initiatives in Ukraine, such as sponsoring a child's education or donating school supplies.
Providing assistance to families in need, such as through food programs or support for single-parent households.
Advocating for the rights of children, such as through letter writing campaigns, social media, and speaking out about the issues affecting Ukrainian children.
It is important to research organizations and initiatives before making a donation to ensure that your support goes to a reputable and effective cause.
As a Copywriter, I can use my storytelling to support the families at bedtime.
I believe it will help strengthen and reduce tension in the families.
