First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska in an interview with the Logo! show spoke about the situation in which Ukrainian children found themselves due to Russian aggression and the conditions in which they had to live and study.
"Danger. If I were to describe their situation in one word. They are constantly in danger. Living in danger is not something many adults can do, but our children have to do it every day. They feel and understand adult things. They become adults early. They cannot plan and dream freely. They miss many important things," the President's wife said.
The first lady said that she would not want Ukrainian children to carry the trauma of the war with them for the rest of their lives: "We in Ukraine do not want them to become a generation of war. We want them to become a generation of victory. I believe it will be so."
Zelenska also answered the question of why Ukraine needs weapons from its partners.
"Without a weapon, it is impossible to defend against an attacker. You can only surrender or die. Every day of delay means new deaths. Imagine yourself in our place. You're putting your baby to bed, but you're not sure if you're going to say "Good morning." This uncertainty is exhausting. I think conscious people in the world will understand this," she said.
Logo! is a children's show produced by the German public broadcaster ZDF since 1989.
