Ukrainian Boys Play Football amid War Air Sirens

Siren noises have engulfed the war-torn country Ukraine. However, that didn’t stop a group of boys from Ukraine’s Dnipro from playing a football game. Despite the current situation in their country, their love for the sport can clearly be seen in a video that has now gone viral on social media. It seems as if their passion for football has taken all their fear away. This incident has given us a glimpse of what Ukraine was like in peaceful times. All sports activities including the Ukrainian Premier League have been suspended due to the ongoing war.

As of March 2, the UN reported at least 536 casualties amongst which 136 civilians have been killed including 13 children, and 400 have been injured since the Russian invasion started last week. A UN spokesperson of the human rights office (OHCR), Liz Throssel, told in a briefing that the actual number might be much higher. She informed in the briefing that 253 of the casualties were reported in Donetsk and Lugansk regions in Eastern parts of Ukraine, as per a Reuters report.
