Donbass: will you be my Mum?

27:26

"Mom, will they kill you?" This is the most common question from adopted children from Donetsk and Lugansk. Kolya, Tolya, and Vova are three brothers who lived in Krasny Luch, in the Lugansk People's Republic. Their father was killed, and their mother fell into alcoholism. Vova, the oldest, has always protected his brothers. Now, he rushes to shield their foster mom when a car drives by. Even in suburban Moscow, the children still don't trust their safety. Other foster parents share similar stories. Often, parents must teach adopted children basic skills—like going to the store or helping at home. Children can't tie their shoelaces but recognize artillery by sound. Now, they're receiving help to heal, catch up in school, and simply be happy.
