Meanwhile, 14-year-old Vladislav Prokopenko told Anadolu the Russia-Ukraine war had negatively changed the lives of all Ukrainians, and that his mother and father stayed back in the country. "We can't think of tomorrow anymore, we live the day. The war taught us that we can only live in the moment. Everyone in Ukraine wants to live in prosperity and peace. "The war took my house, my school, my friends. The bombs destroyed my school, my house. We suffered great losses. I hope the war will end and we will be able to return to our country with peace of mind. I miss my mother, my father, and my country so much," he said.
