When Russian troops steamrolled through her east Ukrainian village in February, Elena Ivanovna’s family packed their car before dawn and fled to Kharkiv, where they unwittingly found themselves on the front line.
KHARKIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s second city has been pummelled by strikes day and night since Russian forces attempted to seize it at the start of the invasion.
On February 24, the night of the invasion, Ivanovna and her family were asleep in their village Lyptsi, just 10 kilometres from the Russian border. Close to the Russian border, the city saw heavy fighting at the start of Moscow’s offensive but has always remained under Ukrainian control. “Volunteers bring us food three times a day, even hot meals, sweets for the children… gifts, toys, pencils,” Ivanovna said.
