Homeless in Ukraine

Ukraine

Three million people have been displaced by the Russian invasion of Ukraine – this week we find out what it was like for people who were already homeless and are still in the war zone. We speak to the remarkable frontline workers keeping a hostel in Kyiv open and those delivering aid on the frontline.
