An empty seat for every child lost in the war – How many buses would be needed to record the souls of children wounded by the horrors of war
Children… The great victims of every war. Children who lost their lives, their families, their friends. Children who survived, but with souls brutally wounded, by the images of horror that will remain engraved in their minds for a lifetime.
Lviv was one of its cities Of Ukraine who were ruthlessly bombed by the Russians. Structures, schools, hospitals, shelters, were hit by artillery, aviation and missile systems.
It is one of the regions of Ukraine that has paid the highest price, after the destroyed Mariupol, with thousands dead.
Until today, 243 child deaths have been officially recorded. The list goes on and on.
On Wednesday, Lviv mourned the 243 children of Ukraine who were lost in this terrible war. In the city that was bombed and paid for, school buses with 243 empty seats sent a global message, an anxious appeal, to stop this war. So that there are no vacancies in schools. So that the teddy bears are not alone in the seats. To hear happy voices, life, laughter, play …
See the pictures from Lviv:
