Residents are returning to northern Kharkiv, which had suffered a fierce battle just a week ago, but the war has almost destroyed their livelihood and they depend on rations for their livelihood.
As of the end of April, the United Nations said more than 10 million Ukrainians were in need of food aid.
Although there are no official figures, it is estimated that the war has so far caused tens of thousands of Ukrainians to lose loved ones.

The mayor of southern Mariupol, the biggest battleground, said more than 5,000 people were killed in Mariupol alone.
Not only Ukraine, but Russia is also expected to suffer heavy casualties.
The British Ministry of Defense estimates that 15,000 Russian soldiers were killed in the invasion of Ukraine.
This exceeds the number of Russian soldiers killed in the nine-year war in Afghanistan that began in 1979.
In the midst of this, in the Donetsk region of southeastern Ukraine, it is reported that the battle between the two sides is fierce.
