Ukraine: Life in a warzone
Nearly two years after the invasion, what does everyday life look like?
Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Nearly two years later, fighting is still going on. Lives are being lost and shattered.
The UN Refugee Agency says more than 6.2 million people have crossed into neighbouring countries and around 5.1 million people are internally displaced.
Jenny Hill is a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Correspondent in Ukraine. She takes us through what life is like in two places there: Odesa is on the coast; Avdiivka continues to see fierce battles.
And Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Monitoring's Vitaly Shevchenko is from Ukraine. He speaks to friends there every day. What do they tell him?
