Ruth Alexander talks to two families displaced by the war in Ukraine, as they reflect on their second year away from home.
They discuss the difficulties of being away from loved ones and the solace home cooking can provide.
Ruth speaks to Natalia Lomonosova, who’d had to flee her home in Kyiv with her teenage daughter and has set up a new life in Berlin, Germany; and she visits Mariya Dmytrenko and her family, who are living with their hosts Brian and Julie Lamb, in Blackburn, England.
