Survivors of Russian bombings cling on in flattened flats

With no electricity and water, the survivors of Russian bombings in Ukraine are forced to live in damaged apartment buildings.

Ukrainian literature teacher Tetyana Sobistiyanska has not washed since March 15.

She remembers the date because that is when Russian mortar fire blew a hole through her apartment on a central street in the battered north Ukrainian city of Chernigiv.

But Sobistiyanska is taking out her boiling anger for her plight on both the Ukrainians and the Russians in the third month of the war.

The 51-year-old still lives in one of the nine-story tower's hallways and sleeps on its debris-strewn floor.

There is no power or water in any of her Soviet-era building's 171 flats.

Sobistiyanska and two of her neighbours sip cold tea off a kitchen table that takes up half the corridor's width in the dark.
