Ukraine refugees’ hopes of return wane after a month of war

Associated Press  

MEDYKA, Poland — As Russia launched its war in Ukraine last month, exhausted and frightened refugees streamed into neighboring countries. The United Nations says that more than 3.6 million people have fled Ukraine since the war started exactly one month ago Thursday, in the biggest movement of people in Europe since World War II. “First of all, nobody could believe Russia would attack us, and we thought that it would end quickly.” Now, Homienko said, “as we can see, there is nothing to look forward to.” Homienko’s hometown is among several cities and towns that have been encircled and shelled heavily by the Russians. Natalia Lutsenko, from the bombed-out northern town of Chernihiv, said she still thought the Russian invasion must be some kind of “misunderstanding.” Lutsenko said she couldn’t see why Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to make Ukrainians suffer so much. “At that moment my daughter called and said ‘Mom, Russia has attacked us.’” One month later, Kot added, people in Chernihiv are drinking river water to survive.
