‘Living in the moment’: Ukraine's second city keeps going after two years of war
The scars of two years of war are evident across Ukraine’s second city of Kharkiv, just 42km from the Russian border and a frequent target of missile and drone attacks. Nevertheless, daily life continues for many. Businesses remain open, cafés are busy and there is even some nightlife in a city that was seen as a cultural hub before the war. Some of those who initially fled have started to return.
