  • 18 October 2022, Bytom, Poland: Katiia Kharytoniuk (37) and her daughter Sofija (5) practice the alphabet together. As children in Ukraine start school at the age of six, Katiia says she wants her daughter to learn how to read and count, so that she can get into a good school in Ukraine. Katiia arrived as a refugee in Poland from Uman, Ukraine, together with her two daughters Sofija (5) and Liliia (14) in March 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. After three months staying in the home of a Polish family, she now lives with her daughters in a building at the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Poland parish in Bytom. The family has two rooms for themselves, and share a kitchen, bathroom and a playing room for children with a couple of other families from Ukraine. Katiia is an economist, and before fleeing the war, worked as a sales manager at a factory manufacturing furniture. The father of the family remains in Ukraine, as at times of war, men aged 18-60 are not allowed to leave the country, under martial law.
