Prologue

On 24th of February 2022 Ukraine was the target of a cruel and unprovoked attack.

Because of the Russian invasion millions of Ukrainian citizens had to leave their home. By the end of 2022 over 47 000 Ukrainians had sought refuge in Finland.

This book brings the horrors of the war to light by Ukrainian refugees who lost their dreams to the injustice.

We are thankful for the brave people who shared their stories. We also want to thank Association of Ukrainians in Northern Ostrobothnia for the helping hand.
