Children in Ukraine’s second-largest city are given coloring-in exercises that show them the difference between a grenade and a small football, or a gift box and a stick of dynamite
Kharkiv, Ukraine In a metro station in Kharkiv, a young woman holds up a toy car, a stuffed bear and a juice carton to a group of elementary school-age children.
