Like thousands of families in Ukraine, Andrii Mishchenko and Olha Taranova said goodbye at the border. Andrii headed east towards the frontlines. Olha headed west with her 11 year-old daughter and elderly father eventually stopping in the safety of Germany. Now over a year later, the family deals with the strain of separation, setting into a new culture and living with the risks of fighting in one of the most dangerous areas in Ukraine.
