War forces thousands of disabled Ukrainians into institutions.
“We once found a lady who couldn’t walk, and she had a bed sore that was so bad that you could literally see bone,” Tarasova said. After more than a year of war, Tarasova said these institutions are now overwhelmed by evacuees with disabilities while staff shortages have worsened as many workers fled the country.
Now he is back in his house in Mykolaiv, a city that comes under repeated missiles attacks, and where there has beensince the early weeks of the invasion. He hears explosions, but he is hard of hearing and said they seem distant. Bayda is one of many advocates who are pushing for the Ukrainian government to ensure that postwar rebuilding efforts include more accessible housing, and alternatives to the old approach of warehousing people with disabilities in institutions.Oksana Zholnovych, Ukraine’s minister of social policy, said that the government is trying to provide adapted apartments for disabled people, but that they are not enough of them and funding is limited.
Early in the invasion, those with financial means, and family who could help them, fled. Now, as conditions become more desperate, particularly in cities and towns along the eastern front, people with disabilities who tried to say in their homes are being forced to evacuate. Vostok SOS has taken more than 5,000 civilians from the front, navigating cratered roads and, more recently, snowy conditions. Serduchenko was one of the lucky ones — Vostok drove him to his granddaughter’s apartment when he arrived in Dnipro.But sometimes it takes hours, or days, to find housing for disabled refugees.
