Former Toronto Mayor John Tory is lending his support to a documentary in Ukraine looking at the impact of the war on children’s mental health.

Speaking exclusively to Newstalk1010’s Moore in the Morning Friday, Tory said he and his brother arrived in the country’s capital of Kyiv 24 hours ago.The documentary, called “Unbreakable,” is being partly funded by Tory, who said he is participating in the project as a tribute to the Ukrainian community in Toronto.

Tory said that in Kyiv, he has seen children living in bombed out apartment buildings “because they had nowhere else to go.” Most of them are being raised by their mothers alone, he said, as their fathers have joined the army. “The impact has been profound,” he said. “I guess all you can say it's been a very wide ranging effect on a lot of children and adults. And it's something that's hard for us to imagine.”
