'It became clear that any trip into the city center—for groceries, medicines, for anything—could be your last,' Kherson native says.
Nearly one year after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, approximately 17 million Ukrainians remain displaced from their homes, with more joining them each day.
"I myself was on a similar list which would have become relevant had Russian troops occupied Odesa," he added. "During the occupation, if you heard an explosion in the city, you didn't even feel the need to get out of bed," Galina, one of the Plich-o-Plich volunteers told."Any strikes on the city back then were done by Ukrainian forces using HIMARS, and they hit military targets with jeweler's precision.""After the liberation, when it was the Russians shooting into the city, they were only hitting civilian objects," Galina said.
"It became clear that any trip into the city center—for groceries, medicines, for anything—could be your last," she added. "It sounds strange to put it this way, but it's an advantage that, when the population we were aiding before the war was forced out of their homes, those doing the helping were displaced right along with them, so vital care and support could continue," Simon Harris, head of the Dnipro HelpAge office, told.
"A man paid good money to a state hospital so that they would care for his relative," Volkova said while showing photographs of an older woman's posterior covered in gauze held in place by scotch tape."Now, because the hospital did not have proper gel bandages, she has a horrible infection, and she needs to come to us."
