Twenty-seven-year-old Tetiana Harkusha is on a mission. She wants to drive from her home in Poland to her destroyed hometown in Ukraine and fetch her ailing mother, who stayed behind when the war started. But there is a catch: She must first learn to drive
“I really want to get my driving license. I went to school here to pass those exams. I know that mum won't be able to come by bus, you have to travel for 24 hours. I hope my dream will come true and I will go to pick her up by my own car,” she told Reuters sitting in her flat last week.
Chernihiv was on the frontlines of the full-scale Russian invasion that started on Feb. 24, 2022. At the end of March, Russian forces had effectively surrounded the city and bombs were falling on residential areas. Harkusha had returned home last year to see her parents, including her ailing father who has since passed.Tetiana Harkusha leaves the car in which she learned to drive during private classes in Lodz, Poland February 25, 2023.
