A panel of illustrations made by 2-year-old Ukrainian evacuee Vladyslava's mother Nataliia is seen at a kindergarten in Yokohama's Minami Ward on May 16, 2022. The illustrations were prepared to covey Vladyslava's feelings, such as "I'm thirsty," and, "I want to go to the bathroom," because she does not yet understand the Japanese language.
