On the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Sky News has partnered with\u00a0Voices of Children<\/a>, a Ukrainian charity, to tell the stories of teenagers living through war\u00a0every day this week. Read three others at the links below.<\/p>\n

My name is Rina and I’m 15. I’m from Akkerman in the Odesa region, one of the oldest cities in Ukraine. I am a poet and journalist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Akkerman used to be nothing more than the place I lived. Now the painful realisation that I can no longer reach my native Black Sea washes over me – it’s mined. That was when I began to feel I truly belonged to this city.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the war, everything around me felt like an all-consuming haze. At first, people said the war might begin on 16 February. Being so young, I shrugged them off without a care. Years later, speaking with older friends, I realised that those weeks had felt like the approach of a storm. And in the end, it all began on 24 February.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Three years on, in 2025, that feeling returned. A summer of shelling, explosions and exhaustion. That was when the Russians struck my school. Four days earlier, we had held our graduation ceremony there.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I was at home that day, and I didn’t even have time to react to the air-raid siren. Everything happened too fast. I was sitting by the window when a powerful explosion rang out. I rushed into the corridor, and a minute later, outside. My mother, grandmother and I ran to the basement. It was there that we heard the second blast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That day, three people were killed – a teacher and two staff members. I immediately started texting my teacher and my friends. Thankfully, none of them were harmed. Later, a friend of mine who lived nearby came to help distribute water and clear the rubble. Now no one studies there in person anymore. Some students only have online classes; others transferred to different schools, myself included.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Every time I walk past the half-shattered school, I feel as though I’ve lost a part of myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And yet, despite everything, some things hold me together: the feeling of home, a deep historical connection to these places, an almost all-consuming love.\u00a0<\/p>\n
