On Tuesday, March 16th, Associate Professor Aparna Mishra-Tarc was on the Mornings with Sue & Andy show to shed light on the conflict in Eastern Europe. Tarc spoke about the plight of the thousands of children fleeing Ukraine as Russian invaders continue their destructive campaign.

"One day they were going to school and everything was normal and the next day their homes were bombed and everything changed - their whole world changed overnight," explained Aparna, "These changes are dramatic in unthinkable ways. Children are experiencing war in the way that adults do and with very little way to express that."

"I think it's really important to pay attention to how children are experiencing events that are taking place in Ukraine and the ways in which they're caught up in the conflict."
