Blood type stickers: Ukranian parents prepare their children for war

As the Ukrainian people brace for increased military action after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into two “breakaway” regions of eastern Ukraine, some parents are preparing for the worst — sending their children to school wearing stickers listing their blood types.

“It’s like a piece of paper, with blood type information, the names of their parents, and telephone numbers,” Vasyl tells TODAY Parents from Ukraine, via phone. “There is no one form for such a sticker. It depends on every parent. It’s up to them.”
