Last year, the local school was shelled and is now closed, and his classmates have fled. "The war changed my life a lot,” says Bodhan. “I don't attend school anymore, I avoid places where there could be mines and don't go far for walks or summer swims in the river. Before the war, Izyum was whole. Everyone was happy and kind, and now everything is broken, and there's no one left. Many friends have departed." Amid the horrors of war, the boy has stopped caring about not having his own bedroom and even jokes about it. "Sleeping in the kitchen is warmer because of the stove,” he says. “Plus, you won't go hungry." During winter, Bohdan's entire existence revolves around his home and yard due to the danger of landmines. With education in his region restricted to online classes, his only connection to teachers and classmates is via a small phone screen. "My school is in ruins,” he says, sadly. “I wish I could return there to see my friends and stroll around. But online studying is tough due to potential electricity and internet outages. Using my phone for studies is challenging as the battery runs out, and I can't hear the teacher well. Besides, my eyes get tired and worsen.” After saving from her pension to buy firewood to heat the home, his grandmother has very little money left for winter clothes for Bohdan and his sister. However, he recently received a set of winter clothes from UNICEF, aided by the support of the USAID Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA). UNICEF's winter response in Ukraine is addressing children’s critical needs with 125,000 winter kits, 100 generators, and 100,000 blankets distributed across key oblasts. These supplies are part of a larger effort to repair essential infrastructure, including heating and water systems in hospitals and schools. Distribution focuses on areas with the greatest needs, including Dnipropetrovska, Donetska, Kharkivska, and others. 11-year-old Bohdan lives in Izyum, in Ukraine’s Kharkivska region, a city that has endured near-total destruction over two years of conflict.
