A few days ago we arrived back in Lviv after spending a week in Kharkiv, where we drove an old Welsh police van filled with non-perishable food packets. I’m sure everyone reading this newsletter is aware of Kharkiv’s significance in the war, and the extent to which the city has been bombarded since 24th February. The majority of the city’s residents have fled, either to the relative safety of western Ukraine, or to the EU. We have spent the past four months listening to the stories of some of those people as they crossed through Przemyśl. Needless to say, the horrors on the ground are far beyond those that people describe. Those who have remained have gotten used to living with a constant soundtrack of artillery in the background. To say that the bombing has been indiscriminate is perhaps too kind. Russia seems to have clearly targeted civilian areas – houses, schools, universities, and medical centres.
