Ukrainians are fleeing Russian-occupied territories. But even in safety, they continue to experience lingering effects: fear, uncertainty, and distrust. Mentally adapting to a new life can prove even harder than physically escaping the Russian onslaught.
Tia\* was 19 when she fled Makiivka, arriving in Kharkiv in late 2023 with no plan and no idea what came next. She'd grown up under occupation, and the decision to leave was hers alone — her family didn't support it, so she had to map out her route and prepare for the journey by herself.
