Hanna Mezhyrytska is a pensioner and an internally displaced person (IDP) from Lysychansk, Luhansk region. She now lives in Lviv in Mariapolis, a camp of prefabricated housing for displaced Ukrainians.

Despite all the chaos and hardship caused by the war, receiving her pension has been one constant for Hanna.

¡°I have been retired for 18 years. No lags, all payments are stable. I receive UAH 4300. That's enough for now. I want to go home to my own house. We hope that our Ukraine will be liberated, and we will go home,¡± says Hanna Mezhyrytska.
