Sacha Anne

BOMBS exploded near Sacha Kushenov’s home in Svitlovodsk, central Ukraine, just days before we met him. Yet the four-year-old was full of energy as he and mum Oksana, 39, waited for a bus to Warsaw. Sacha raced around with a toy monkey and told us he wants to be a policeman.

SMILEY Anne Novikova showed off the teddy she packed in Donetsk, before she and her two siblings made it to Poland with mum Irine, 35. Anne, six, told us she wants to be a doctor. Separatists have declared her home an independent republic, though fierce fighting continues.
