People wait in a queue for the distribution of humanitarian aid in the center of Tsyrkuny village. The Kharkiv area and the northern part of the city suffered heavily during the Russian invasion. On the first day of the war, Russian troops occupied the surrounding villages, surprising the inhabitants and giving them no chance to escape. The occupation lasted months, during which many residents were killed and buildings and infrastructure destroyed. Despite almost a year since its end, the area remains dangerous due to its proximity to Russia. Survivors often live in partially ruined houses
People wait in a queue for the distribution of humanitarian aid in the center of Tsyrkuny village. The Kharkiv area and the northern part of the city suffered heavily during the Russian invasion. On the first day of the war, Russian troops occupied the surrounding villages, surprising the inhabitants and giving them no chance to escape. The occupation lasted months, during which many residents were killed and buildings and infrastructure destroyed. Despite almost a year since its end, the area remains dangerous due to its proximity to Russia. Survivors often live in partially ruined houses without basic utilities. They also have no jobs and the state at war is unable to provide them with sufficient aid.
