Olivia Colman meets with Ukrainian teenager to hear her story of resilience amid the war with Russia: 'It was a humbling experience'
The actress, 50, spoke with 15-year-old Solomiya as part of her work with UNICEF, where she serves as UK President.
She explained how she quickly packed her bag, prioritising her English books so she could continue her language studies, not knowing that she'd spend another two years learning online - away from her friends. Latest data released by UNICEF today estimates that over the past two years, children like Solomiya, in Ukraine's frontline areas have been forced to spend between 3,000 and 5,000 hours sheltering in basements as air raid alerts sound above. The special meeting follows Olivia’s previous support for UNICEF, raising awareness and advocating for children’s rights, when she travelled to its Global Humanitarian Supply Hub in Denmark, in 2022 - the first year of the war.
