Last month, The Sun revealed how child survivors of the war in Ukraine were learning to cope with their trauma at summer camps with psychologists.

As well as therapy they swim, play games and watch movies.

The specialists teach “life-hacks” to help the kids come to terms with the horrors unleashed by tyrant Vladimir Putin’s Russian forces.

One technique involves imagining their worst experience as a photograph then ripping it to pieces in their head.

The camps are funded by billionaire oligarch Rinat Akhmetov, one of Ukraine’s richest men.

Most of the youngsters rarely see other children other than at the camp as schools are taught online.
