'Sometimes I even cry'
Children from St Mary's Ukrainian School in Holland Park, west London, spent their Saturday morning protesting against the invasion of their homeland
"I feel very sad for them and I hope everything will be alright in my country because it's my home, that's where I was born," he adds. While Alex said: "It makes me feel very worried and the news says everything what's happening on the battlefield, so sometimes I even cry."Since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalated, St Mary's Ukrainian School in Holland Park has been focusing on fundraising for both the humanitarian and military efforts back home.
"I know sometimes people use humour but I think it's really disrespectful since I don't think they really realise how serious the actual war is and what's going on in Ukraine. Raising awareness and protesting, I think that will help to spread awareness," she added.Head teacher Inna Hryhorovych said what happened on Thursday "shook them all".
Ms Hryhorovych added: "The children want to act. They don't want to just use the privilege of clear skies and continue with their lives."The Saturday school has been running for more than 60 years and teaches pupils about Ukrainian language, culture and history.
