Three years of war in Ukraine has devastated the infrastructure of the country and crashed the hopes of millions. Rudaw has been covering the developments on the ground throughout the conflict.
Hope for an end to the war is the wish and desire of most Ukrainians. A war they never wanted to start, but now they want it to end, with all their strength, however it may be.
With broken hearts, Nela and Sergiy walked through the rubble of their destroyed house. For 30 years, they haven't let go of each other's hands for anything; thirty years of love and companionship. Now, living every day in the shadow of death and returning from death, they are unwilling to leave each other in any way.
Before the war, their goal was to live in comfort and peace, but the merciless war and shelling turned the sweet hopes and dreams of their youth into a bitter and distant dream. They were spending a normal night, but suddenly the peace of their home was shattered. At this age, they were left without a home, possessions, or shelter. They have no children and have to stay at their friends’ houses until their house gets repaired.
Despite ongoing efforts to bring an end to the war, both warring sides have refused to make compromises.
