Shortly after the war in Ukraine broke out in February 2022, Laryssa Moskvichova and her three daughters fled the bombs falling from the sky over their Kharkiv neighborhood. By a circuitous route they wound up in an unfamiliar country: Brazil, and eventually a town in the south called Prudentópolis, known as "Little Ukraine" because of the many Ukrainians who'd settled there a century ago. Last year we brought you the story of how this family, displaced by the war in Europe, was finding community and belonging in South America.
We caught up with Laryssa and her oldest daughter a year later to find out how they were faring as the war in Ukraine grinds on.
