With the need for help far greater than what is being delivered, aid organisations have called for countries to support each town’s reconstruction. | By David Crowe CroweDM
The ground crunches when the Kulikovskys walk across the broken glass and shattered bricks that cover the car park outside their home in Borodyanka, on the western approaches to Kyiv, four months after Russian air strikes killed their neighbours.
A dozen apartment blocks were destroyed along the main street of Borodyanka when Russian tanks came down the highway at the end of February. The town was occupied for a month, as was nearby Bucha which is closer to Kyiv on the same road.The killing of civilians on the streets of Bucha Stasenko was trapped in Borodyanka during the occupation from March 2 to April 4, but he had no nationalist tattoos. “That saved my life,” he says through an interpreter.
The need for help is far greater than the aid being delivered along these streets. Dozens of families are living in “Iron City” near the centre of town, where railway carriages have been turned into dormitories. One way forward may be for countries to “adopt” each town to support the reconstruction.
