The war between ukraine and russia continues for the 23rd day. On the one hand, both sides are ready for talks but on the other hand, the war is still going on. Russian forces are approaching the capital, Kyiv. Meanwhile, Russian forces launched missile strikes yesterday on the outskirts of Lviv and in the suburbs of Kyiv. As a result, large numbers of Ukrainians have emigrated to neighboring countries as refugees. UNICEF reports that more than 10 lakh children have been affected. 7% of Ukraine's population is a refugee.

Roger Federal commented on twitter said that his family and he were shocked when they saw the photos of the events in Ukraine. Their hearts were broken when they saw the suffering of innocent people.
Therefore, on behalf of the Roger Federal Foundation, US $ 5 million will be provided to help Ukrainian children continue their schooling.
Former british tennis player Andy Murray has been the UNICEF Ambassador to the United Kingdom. In his announcement last week, he said that the prize money he won in tennis in 2022 would be donated for the benefit of Ukrainian children.
