The Sunday Story: Two kindergartners, torn apart by war


Listen Later

The war in Ukraine has forever changed the young students of one kindergarten classroom, who are now scattered all around the world. For the past year, NPR's Elissa Nadworny has been following a group of six-year-olds from the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. After the city came under attack by Russian forces, the children's school abruptly closed and many families fled. In this episode of The Sunday Story from Up First, Nadworny helps us understand the ripple effects of war through the eyes of children who lost the world they knew.
