Elder said Biden's visit was largely received positively, as Ukrainians worry the world is forgetting their plight.

He said day-to-day life in Ukraine remains terrifying, as attacks are constant. Schools and hospitals are devastated, as are children's mental health and Ukrainians' finances.

UNICEF's focus is on children.
