‘Unbreakable’ Ukrainians ‘don’t feel fear any more’ one year on from invasion

Sergiy, Tetyana and Olga spoke with the PA news agency from the Depaul Day Centre in Kyiv ahead of the one-year anniversary of the war.

Ukrainians are “unbreakable” and “don’t feel fear any more” one year on from the start of the war, a refugee working at a shelter in Kyiv has said.

Staff and evacuees at the Depaul Kyiv Day Centre have described escaping their home cities amid intense shelling at the start of the war and appealed to the West for more weapons and supplies one year later.

The centre, which is supported by the British Embassy, provides emergency aid for refugees – including shelter, food and clothes – while the charity gives longer-term assistance such as therapy services and home repairs.
