Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, putting millions of people in danger and forcing 8 million Ukrainians to flee their homes and millions more to turn to bomb shelters to avoid the bombardments. We spoke to two of our Observers to see how their lives have changed during this year of war, inside Ukraine and out. 

The FRANCE 24 Observers team has been speaking to Ukrainians across the country since the beginning of the conflict that began last year. We checked in on some of them to see how one year of war has changed everything for them, and their loved ones.
