Ukrainians: how are you being affected by family separation?

At least 12 million people have fled their homes since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, according to the United Nations.

More than five million – mainly women and children – have left for neighbouring countries, while seven million have been internally displaced. Many women have been apart from their husbands, sons and other family members for months.

We are interested in speaking to Ukrainians who have been forced to leave their home country and have been separated from their partners and families. How are you adapting to the country you have moved to? How are you coping with being apart from your loved ones in Ukraine?
