Boredom, loneliness plague Ukrainian youth near front line

Anastasiia Aleksandrova, 12, draws a smiley face in the fabric of a blanket at the home she shares with her grandparents in Sloviansk, Donetsk region, eastern Ukraine, Monday, Aug. 8, 2022. With no one her age left in her neighborhood and school classes taking place only online since Russia's invasion in February, video games and social media have taken the place of the walks and bike rides she once enjoyed with the friends who have since fled west to safety.
