In the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, more than a year after the deoccupation, few residents have returned to the bombed villages due to the area still being heavily mined, lacking electricity, and other basic services. Despite these challenges, the attachment to their homeland remains strong, as reported by @thetimes with @marcbennetts1 & @KatyaMalofeyeva. Sociologist Liubov Borusyak has been observing the impact of relocation on Russians who left the country following the invasion of Ukraine, as part of the broader #RussiaUkraineWar context. The Economist reported on the varied experiences of Ukrainians in different cities, including how they are coping with the aftermath of the invasion. In Russian-occupied Crimea, up to 800,000 Russians have moved in since the illegal annexation in 2014, while around 100,000 Ukrainians have left the region. The Ukrainian town of Lyman, which was occupied by Russian troops for five months, is facing a tough winter after being liberated over a year ago, with its residents struggling to stay warm. Across Ukraine's cities, from ravers to rubbish collectors, people are making efforts to restore normality, which is seen as an act of defiance against the aggressor.

From ravers to rubbish collectors, life for people in Ukraine’s cities is carrying on. Every little effort to restore normality is an act of defiance, a refusal to submit to the tyrant in Moscow. We share some of their stories https://t.co/FuWVQKYWEC 👇
