Russia brutalised this village. Now young Ukrainians are rebuilding homes and hope

Young Ukrainians from Kyiv are organising ’Repair Together’ weekends to help poor villages devastated by Russian occupation by cleaning up and rebuilding homes for free. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► Tetiana Burianova was traveling in Peru when war broke out, and rushed back to Ukraine to help out in any way she could. With her friends, she began collecting donations and organising repair events that now attract hundreds of young people from cities each weekend. The Guardian’s Christopher Cherry reports from a liberated village where he meets locals finding it impossible to forgive a brutal occupation, and volunteers determined to build a better Ukraine amid the ruin.
