Scott Mc Kiernan presents zReportage.com Issue #966 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY December 3, 2024: ‘Youthful DREAMS DEFERRED’ by ZUMA Press award winning photographer in Ukraine Svet Jacqueline: ‘Every war is a war against children’ said Eglantyne Jebb, founder of the ‘Save the Children’ organization, 100 years ago just at the end of World War One. Today an average of at least 16 children are killed or injured in Ukraine every week, stated UNICEF. As the war enters its third year, Ukrainian youth continue to bear the greatest burden. Over 659 children have lost their lives and hundreds more have been forcibly relocated to occupied territories to suppress their heritage and Ukrainian identities. These images showcase what has become their reality and encapsulate the complex stories of survival and long-lost childhoods Russia continues to destroy. Welcome to ‘Youthful DREAMS DEFERRED’
