Chernihiv, a battered city, is trying to rebuild itself despite the war in Ukraine. The large city in northern Ukraine withstood a devastating siege for 40 days in February 2022.
Tens of thousands of people left Chernihiv after the Russian invasion began. Many have not returned but displaced people from the Donetsk or Bakhmout region have settled here. With the Bohemo association, an electrician is mobilizing all the goodwill to repair roofs and rebuild houses for families who have lost everything.
