We work with those countries whose governments create the necessary conditions and control the satisfaction of all the needs of Ukrainian children. In the first days, we evacuated most of the children to Poland. Now the geography has expanded significantly. Evacuation in small groups requires much more organizational effort. But this increases the safety of movement and attention to meeting the needs of each child, " Maryna Lazebna commented.
