(ANSA) PARIS, MARCH 22 “We will not allow the enemy to kill our children,” says Olena Zelenska, wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in an interview with French newspaper Le Parisien.
In the interview, he tells in particular about his struggle to organize the evacuation of sick children in Ukraine. How does she feel? “Like a person who has a war at home,” she replies, who for the past few days has been working on the socalled “Convoys of Life,” an unprecedented rescue operation being carried out in collaboration with the Première ladies of France and Poland. “When it became clear that it was becoming impossible to treat children with cancer in air raid shelters, we immediately looked for a solution” to move them abroad. “Some according to Zelenska will stay in Poland, others will go to France, Italy, Germany, the United States, Canada.” Olga Zelenska explains that “Children are not separated from their loved ones. This is an important element of the project. Another key principle is that they are taken care of free of charge. Cancer is a personal war for each affected family: “Well, he notes,” they have to fight on two fronts: with the disease and with the military context. It’s an extremely complex test, he adds, citing the case of Anya, 12, from Kyiv, who had few chemotherapy regimens before her treatment ended. Would the war keep them from this victory? Never. We cannot allow that. Since the beginning of the conflict, we have “also had more than 4,000 babies born underground, in the subway, in bomb shelters and sometimes he concludes in bombed maternity wards like in Mariupol.
