Around 50,000 Ukrainians have taken refuge from the war in Turkey, including more than 1,000 orphans and foster children. Some of them have gone to the coastal city of Antalya, that was already home to a Ukrainian and Russian population before the conflict began. Here FRANCE 24 met children who have been taken to safety, and are living thanks to the generosity of a group of Ukrainian businessmen.
