Donbass: Restoring Childhood

The West is unhappy about the rescue mission for children in the Donbass. In April, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, accused Russia of forcibly removing kids from the conflict zone.

‘No child has been forcibly taken by anyone. That’s not true,’ said Lidia Kovalyova, an organizer of the family orphanage. She took the kids from Donetsk to Novocherkassk and believes that taking them away saved their lives.

These days, the children don’t even look back at the war. They’re studying, learning ballroom dancing and partaking in various competitions. Their stories are in ‘Donbass: Restoring Childhood’.
