Ukrainian children learn ancient warrior skills amid modern war

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en] · Eastern Europe

Ukrainian children are learning the skills of 17th-century Cossack warriors – the communities that played a central role in Ukraine history, known for their military skills and horsemanship. But for these students, it is more than a history lesson. It is a chance to escape the reality of growing up during war. Story by Charlotte Lam.
