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.
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.

@@dBoogieNights great idea, maybe the USA could annex part of Ukraine and take people's passports away in that area and deny all movement to people who don't have a US passport and then hand out US passports to everyone in that region so they can be mobilised into the US Army. Also they could change the currency to the dollar and turn off the TV Networks and show CNN on repeat and have it as the only source of news. Then to make it all legal they can hold a referendum and have Soliders accompanying the ballot collects door to door so all those people that vote no are on record and can be targeted on the quiet later down the line as they know where they live and what they look like.

What an amazing and inspirational story.

And I complain about gas prices.... We will volunteer for a month to help rebuild Ukraine once they win. Wonderful story. Only the best Ukraine.

Heartbreaking.... the strength of the 86 year old lady, what a survivor, inspirational 👏

Well done Russia. You have something to be proud of. You "just" occupied my country of Czechoslovakia to crush our democratic movement some 54 years ago and the hatred still lingers on and won't go away. Now imagine how these poor people must be feeling and will be feeling for decades. Pure hatred and utter contempt. Fun fact, Germany denazified only in late 60s. The sooner you start, the better.

Well, you are now occupied by the United States and NATO. Do you love your new masters better? 😂

There's so much depth in this story: a real patriotism, a unity, bravery - Putin actually gave Ukraine a favour

What a wonderful group of young people showing what it is to care and do practical but meaningful things for victims.

OMG this brings tear to my eyes,..I'm old now but if I was there I would give $$ and my tired hands to help rebuild, THANK U Guardian

Well: Russia certainly isn't making any friends! 😏

[@jaypolas4136]

Nato will lose all it's friend, by nukes.

[@ak5659]

Yup! Why do you think all the formerly Soviet-occupied nations RAN to NATO?

This up uplifting and heart wrenching at the same time. A great piece of journalism!

Was the Guardian as concerned about the villages in the Donbass between 2014 and 2022?

It was both heartwarming and tragic to see young boys playing checkpoint guard. The sheer dichotomy.

That community is working so hard to rebuild and look after the old folks..Well done Ukraine you are a shining example to the world.. Long live Ukraine peace forever now..Help each other survive this.. GLORY to Ukraine

[@user-ou3ln3np1g]

Thank you from Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!

[@rudolfyakich6653]

Hope and optimism are two things that are the fuel to rebuild. These young people provide elbow grease to get the rebuilding started. I is fantastic to see how Ukrainians love their land and help those who suffered during the occupation.

[@packersfanforlife7903]

This is where Russia miscalculated. The Ukrainian generations which follow will never forget about Russia.

[@ak5659]

But here's the funny thing: Russia never learns from its miscalculations! These events are NOT new; they've been going on for over 800 years! When Russia's been successful the victory has always been Pyrrhic and temporary.
