Ukraine: Children with blood type stickers went to school before the invasion

The war is now a reality in Ukraine. Citizens woke up in the morning to the sound of sirens after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had invaded the country with the army. Two days before the invasion of Ukraine Putin had announced the recognition of the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk, which was essentially the prelude to the invasion. And this was understood by the Ukrainians who took measures to protect themselves and their families.

According to today.com several parents decided to send their children to school with a special feature: they made a sticker which stated, among other things, their blood type in case they were injured in an attack and a blood transfusion was deemed necessary.

Vasil and Marta, parents of two girls aged 9 and 5, live in a village about 9 km from Kiev. Their eldest daughter goes to school in the center of Kiev. «It’s a piece of paper, with our blood type, our parents’ names and our phones. There is no specific design for this sticker. Every parent can make it as he wantsSays the father to Today.

Ukrainian mothers started talking about stickers on Facebook after Putin’s speech, says the correspondent of the Spanish EFE agency, Olga Tokariuk. “Some schools have even made stickers mandatory,” he said.

Some parents prepare their children how to react in an emergency. “I talked to my eldest daughter, 13 years old, as she often comes home alone from school. “I told her that in case of emergency she should listen to her teacher and she asked me where she would find me,” said Christina.

With her youngest daughters as she says, 5 and 3 years old, they do not have extensive discussions about the possibility of war, she just told them to remember the address where they live, their names and the name of their mother.
