Ukrainian children and war

Ukraine's youngest have long suffered from Russia's war as this Kyiv Post classic cover shows. This is an amazing photo by Anastasia Vlasova.

This is Kyiv Post chief editor Brian Bonner’s summary of the Jan. 27, 2017, edition, which can be read here in PDF format:

We're heavy back at the front in Russia's war against Ukraine.

We have a heartbreaking photo by Anastasia Vlasova showing kindergarten students in Luhanske at the war front trying to get educated amid sporadic shelling outside. When it gets bad, teachers play music to take their minds off the scary noises. Story by Oksana Grytsenko.

The front-page companion piece by Yuliana Romanyshyn visits those who fled the war to live in "temporary" shelters in Kharkiv -- some for years now with no end in sight.

And Isaac Webb kicks in a story from the war front on Ukraine's creeping offensive to regain control of frontline cities in the gray zone.

The Business Focus is on taxes and lifestyle keeps everyone up to speed on all the entertainment.
