It’s not just Ukrainian kids who struggle with fireworks. The Ukrainian lady my wife and I hosted suffered from really bad PTSD that came to a head around Guy Fawkes night and Diwali because of the number of fireworks.
Sadly, there isn’t much you can do, besides trying to be aware of particular days and dates when there are likely to be fireworks.

Fuck me that’s heart breaking. When you think about how privileged we are to celebrate in this way. It’s really kind of sick. It literally is the celebration of the sounds of war. I stopped shooting fireworks off a long time ago after I learned how it traumatizes dogs… Dogs, talk about being privileged. I was concerned only of dogs, not children.

I have a friend from Kyiv who talks a little about how she never gets any sleep. She basically has constant insomnia from getting bombed so many nights. She doesn’t like to talk about it so I only hear casual mentions, but I’m imagining that she’ll be disturbed for life after years of experiencing explosions all night long. “I didn’t sleep last night” is basically code for “I spent all night wondering if I would survive.”

My mother was terrified of fireworks too due to American bombings in 1972 and 1973. 40 years later she was still terrified of the sound.

Absolutely heart breaking. My baby girl left on the 24th in 22 with her mom and they haven’t been back since. And while I miss her dearly, I’m happy she didn’t have to experience what it’s like when a ballistic missile shockwave takes your breath away. It’s scary enough as an adult.
It affect EVERY living being. My cat was with me for a few years before I shipped him off to my family abroad. He went through a lot of the “close” calls, trips to the basement, etc. Winter of 22-23 was particularly nasty.
They recently had a mock air raid (annual drill) in the country where my family resides now. My daughter was ecstatic, thunking it was some weird song. She danced and laughed. My cat, on the other hand, immediately went away, hid in his favorite spot, and started shaking, his eyes froze. My wife even got scared since she didn’t know why that was happening. I explained it to her.
That kind of animalistic fear is hard to get out of your system. The hardest part is realizing how much it affects you when you don’t think it does.

This is what PTSD does to me from being shot. I hate that I know what they feel like in this video. Poor kids. Fireworks aren’t fun for some of us in the world.

We have tradition of canon salutes in my country on the morning of the national day. In reality it’s just some local construction guy with an explosives licence firing of small TNT charges up on a hill outside town or on some rock right off shore.
But it sounds and feels very much like close by artillery fire. Thought about Ukranian refugees here and how they might feel about it since 2022. Though it is very predictable and at a known time/date so better than random fireworks I guess.

Of all the terrible footage that’s come out from this war, one of the things that affected me most was a clip of a baby standing in his cot crying for attention, bombs started falling and the baby immediately went quiet, dropped to his stomach and lay still.
It’s so sad what this war is taking away from children, the most basic childhood behaviours scared out of them, all for the whims of some evil rich fuckers living in luxury.

Poor Kids, they lost every inch of innocence because of this genocidal maniac of Pootin.

Not only fireworks. Took quite a few UA Refugees here in my City in Germany quite a while to not get triggered by the constant siren blaring here.
Each Volunteer Firedepartment in each City quarter calls the volunteer firemen with the Alarm Siren. And we test them every Saturday morning.
Its the same sirens we use for public warning. But you need to know the signal difference between a Call to the Station and an Airraid / ABC / Flood / Storm warning.

My wife & kids still have issues with fireworks & they’ve been in the U.S. since the end of August 2022. I still don’t like unexpected explosions & I’ve been out of military service since 2017.
Real explosions & war doesn’t “go away”, but it lessens with time. It also helps when you’re expecting it & aren’t too close to it. We go through it multiple times per year.

This is absolutely horrible to watch.

I was with an army veteran this summer and some fireworks were going off and he casually pointed out how this was actually very bad for him and his fellow army veterans.
