Christmas at war: How Ukrainians celebrate Christmas this year

"It is lightly drizzling outside and people are walking around generators humming on the sidewalks," writes our colleague Kateřina Krejčová from western Ukraine. The atypical atmosphere, which we don't exactly associate with Christmas, is almost a daily routine for Ukrainians. How do people in Ukraine prepare for the Christmas holidays? And do they even want to celebrate it this year? Our colleagues tell us how are Ukrainians experiencing Christmas time this year.

Broken souls are harder to restore than ruined buildings. Caritas Czech Republic provides psychological support to victims of the war in Ukraine

Ruins, death, rapes, cruelty, torture, personal losses, constant danger, and fear. Ukrainians have been living in the horrors of the war for 8 months. All these terrible things are not something people can easily deal with. Sometimes it is very hard for them even to find a reason to live. That is why victims of war need professional help to be able to continue their normal life. Caritas Czech Republic provides professional training for psychologists and social workers for the local Caritas Ukraine team.

80 people per toilet? Caritas to secure better conditions for displaced Ukrainians in Transcarpathia

The war in Ukraine forced more than 12 million people out of their homes. A large number of them found refuge in the western parts of the country. One of the regions where people fleeing the war have headed is the Transcarpathian region. It currently hosts up to 400,000 internally displaced Ukrainians. Many of them are living in completely unsatisfactory conditions. Caritas Czech Republic is launching a project to improve sanitary facilities in accommodation centres and to ensure the construction of modular units. These will provide accommodation for the most vulnerable groups of displaced people.
