The
city of Mariupol. The industrial heart of the Donetsk region, and one
of the biggest seaports in Ukraine. Approximately 500,000 people live
here, just about 20 kilometers from the contact line. Echoes of war can
often be heard in the eastern districts of the city. Aside from that,
Mariupol lives a normal life nowadays, attracting tens of thousands of
refugees from the occupied territories.
One in five residents here is internally displaced, a hundred thousand people in total. Vera and her family came to Mariupol from Shyrokyne village in 2014. Their home was destroyed in the fighting between Ukraine and the Russian-backed forces. The woman managed to overcome all the obstacles and even volunteered to help the others.
