Five million Ukrainians have fled their country and the war, an unprecedented number of refugees since the Second World War world. At the same time, encouraged by the departure of the Russians for the West, more than a million Ukrainians are returning home despite the authorities’ appeal for caution.
The desolation. This is all that remains of where this woman once lived the war. “We hadn’t been back for over twenty days when we were told to evacuate the area. Today, we have to sign a discharge to be able to return, but we have nothing left“, deplores this resident of Moschun (north-west of kyiv).
Eight hundred inhabitants lived here. They lost everything. And when the houses are still standing, the land must be cleared before the inventory can be taken. With the means at hand and without anyone’s help. “The Russians mined my house, so I use a rope with a hook. You have to throw it and pull it along the ground. If nothing explodes, I can move another five meters“, explains this resident. Despite the dangers, more and more of them want to resume life where they left off, more than a million in total. Today, the kyiv railway station is a place of return and transit for thousands of Ukrainians.
