But many of the most vulnerable — mentally and physically disabled children — have been left behind., located in southwestern Ukraine, is home for over 200 Ukrainian children who have physical and intellectual disabilities. Most orphans in Ukraine have parents, but have been abandoned — some have been at Vilshany for decades without a single visitor.
"This damn war set back their development," Bohdan Kykyna, the director of Vilshany Orphanage, told NBC's Richard Engel. Vilshany leadership had to suspend modernization plans to update the facility because of the war, Kykyna added.The Vilshany Orphanage was originally operated under draconian conditions that left the children isolated from society.
Now, as a result of Russia's war in Ukraine, the facility is overcrowded as other orphanages have been forced to close down and evacuate. Two vital therapy rooms in Vilshany have been converted to dorms in order to house 38 additional children, Engel reports. "Without stretching, braces, surgery or therapy, and the others are getting worse," Engel said."Some are malnourished. This is not a hospital — they don't do advanced treatments or much medication.""Many are clearly starving for love and their families," he added."It's one of the hardest things you can see, because a lot of the kids here have been calling out to mom and dad ... and they aren't coming.
