In Kiev the atmosphere is “very tense”, in the city there is only talk of the “possible Russian invasion”, the speeches of adults inevitably always end there and the effects are also seen on children, who begin “to play war”, obviously with fake weapons. Natalia Onipko, president of the NGO ‘Zaporuka’, partner and sister association of ‘Soleterre’ in Ukraine, sees many pass every day in the shelter where the little cancer patients under treatment in Kiev, but who come from remote areas of the country. War? “I don’t even want to think about it”, she replies in an interview with Adnkronos, immediately going back to 2014, when the conflict began in the east of the country that killed 14 thousand in eight years. “These days the children in the shelter are playing with plastic weapons, with fake tanks, something I had never seen before,” says Onipko, recalling that when the conflict broke out many children living in Donbass found shelter right in the shelter house in Kiev. “Today I experience those same emotions, I see that same fear in the eyes of people who are already fighting their war with cancer”, she declares. Onipko’s thoughts always go to ‘his of hers’ her children. In the event of an invasion “these 14 thousand deaths would add many others. I remember how the situation was in the east in 2014: several hospitals were destroyed and many children died because cancer must be treated according to the protocols and does not allow for delays”. ‘Zaporuka’ supports the families of the little ones. Without the help of this NGO, many parents who could not afford accommodation in Kiev – because they spent everything on treatment or travel – would sleep in the stations, since the Ukrainian health system does not cover health costs – drugs, surgery, diagnostic tests – related to cancer Onipko explains how the winds of war have already indirectly affected the NGO. The hryvnia, the official currency, is depreciating against the euro. “The estimates of the machinery we should buy are growing day by day. We have donations in grivne, but now we need many more than before – he says – We also have some agreements on stand by with various partners who tell us that in this situation they cannot sign the agreements. ” And if the war really began, “people would no longer move to our centers and the supply of medicines would be blocked.” The president of the NGO therefore speaks of the “indifference” of a part of the West, including Italy, towards of the Ukrainian question. “But I am not referring only to this moment, we have been at war for eight years and children die every day in the East. I would like to see more interest not only in Italy, which I feel closer, but I am still grateful to the people. and to associations like ‘Soleterre’ who have not forgotten us – he concludes – It is important to understand that we are Europe and that the Russians, once they are done with us, will not stop “.
