The Wider Image: A year into Ukraine war, older refugees running out of hope
Ukrainian refugee Svitlana Skibina, 62, from Kharkiv, shows a picture of her apartment sent to her from her friend Evgeniya Budyakova, who stayed in Kharkiv, at her rented apartment in Warsaw, Poland, February 9, 2023. Skibina left Kharkiv last April with her disabled husband, her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Before living in Warsaw, worked in a library at a medical college. But there are few options for her in Poland. "For the first two months I had a terrible depression, I didn't want anything. I only wanted to go home," she said.
