Boys play war games in once occupied town by Russians




10-year-old Maksym Mudrak (L) and 6-year-old Valentyn (R) play a war game in the village of Stoyanka, in Kyiv region, which was occupied by Russian troops during the beginning of the Russian invasion last year, on May 11, 2023. The boys wear secondhand helmets and their guns cannot kill, but the war they play in a Ukraine field is real for them and carries consequences. Over a year into Russia's invasion, the fighting has seeped into Ukrainian children's play and worldviews, doing the damage they will carry forever.  Sergei Supinsky, AFP/Getty Images
