The war in Ukraine has already forced Lyudmila and her son to move twice

Although the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, the protracted war has started in 2014 when the Donetsk and Luhansk regions self-proclaimed the independent republics. Lyudmila and her son had to leave their home in Luhansk back then. Now, eight years later, the same sad situation found them in the suburbs of Kyiv. Fortunately, thanks to the help of Caritas, they have now found a temporary home in Ternopil, located in western Ukraine.
