In western Ukraine, Tetiana Kasian stopped on the pavement to take in a wall of flowers that had gone up overnight in memory of those killed since Russia’s invasion.
Scanning the bright burst of artificial petals, the 32-year-old found the smiling faces of men, women and children, including some people she knew.
“It’s devastating,” she said. “I never thought that it would happen in Ukraine in the 21st century.”
Kasian explained that she was originally from the southern port city of Mariupol, now almost entirely under Russian control.
“I don’t know if I will see my parents” again, she said quietly.
