Six-year-old Tania has no more playmates left on her street. She sits on a bench just steps away from the train station. It's where remnants of a rocket marked with the words "for the children" were found after a Russian attack in April killed more than 50 people. Tania and her mother and father aren't afraid to be there. They enjoy the shade and whatever quiet remains between the booms of the outgoing artillery that tries to keep Russian forces out. "The bombs land all over the country. It's doesn't make sense to escape," Tania's father, Oleksandr, says. It's well known that many of the residents of eastern Ukraine who refuse to heed authorities' calls to flee are older ones. It's jarring, then, to explore the streets of communities close to the front line and spot children, even a baby stroller. It is not known how many remain. It's mid-summer. School is out. Toy stores, like most other businesses, are closed. The remaining children still find ways to play. As the latest air raid siren wails at a playground in Kramatorsk and artillery booms, a girl in pigtails squeals and runs from the determined chase of a little boy. The merry-go-round spins. Anhelina, who is almost 5, is riding a pink bike with training wheels. There are no safe places, her parents say.
