Far from the fighting in Ukraine’s east, some of the children of soldiers in Donbas are being treated to a summer camp unlike any other in the luxury residence of former President Viktor Yanukovch.“Yanukovych, our former President, used to live here,” explained camp attendee Dymtro. “We saw his house, his gym, his zoo and a beautiful waterfall. When I saw it, my jaw dropped to the ground!”Free transportation shuttles children of soldiers to the so-called Eurocamp, volunteers say it offers them vital relief from their home lives.“The children of Ukrainian soldiers are very vulnerable,” explained Nataliya Stepanova, volunteer/Kyiv ATOveterans union. “Many of them are withdrawn. The fathers of some kids are in the Donbas and they live with mothers who suffer from anxiety. And some kids have lost their fathers.”
