SHEVCHENKOVE, Ukraine—The first entry in Tymofiy Zozulia’s war diary is dated March 12, days afteroccupied this village east of Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital. By then, his mother and stepfather were dead, but the 12-year-old had yet to discover the truth.
On March 8, Tymofiy awoke to find his mother and stepfather had gone to a local market, where they occasionally sold tea and other goods to supplement the income Ms. Vashchenko made working at a vocational school in Kyiv. Tymofiy switched on cartoons for his 5-year-old half-brother and poured him a bowl of cereal for breakfast.Are world leaders doing enough to support Ukraine? Why or why not?

Despite having just lost her younger sister, Ms. Strilets said she hid her anguish from the boys. Unbeknown to Tymofiy, the adults began negotiating with the Russians for permission to remove his mother and stepfather’s bodies from the street. With the help of a neighbor, relatives loaded their remains into a minivan on March 10, and took them to the family home, where they were buried in a shallow grave in the corner of the yard, according to Ms. Strilets and Mr. Provornov.
As they grew accustomed to the rhythms of war, the kids were allowed out to play during lulls in the shelling, and Ms. Strilets’s story began to crack. Her teenage son said a neighbor’s daughter had blurted out that the boys’ parents were dead. Still, Ms. Strilets said nothing. “My mom and Sirozha have been stuck in Kyiv since last week,” Tymofiy wrote in the first entry in his war diary, dated March 12. “For four days my brother Serafim and I are staying with our auntie… I have lost count of how many times we went to the cellar but that’s okay.”
