It’s been more than three months now since Russia invaded Ukraine. February 24th was the day when thousands of Ukrainians woke up to the sound of their cities and towns being bombarded by the Russian military. Since then, according to the UN, more than 14 million Ukrainians have fled their homes, with about half of them leaving the country.
