Ukraine Live Briefing: Russia accused of ‘deliberate mass murder’; Donetsk ordered to evacuate

A care center for Ukraine’s disabled deals with the trauma of occupation, write The Washington Post’s Miriam Berger, Kostiantyn Khudov and Whitney Leaming.

Maryna Hanitska had no choice. She wrapped her patients’ fragile bodies in trash bags and buried them in a hastily dug mass grave in the frigid cold under threat of Russian fire. It will haunt her forever.

Hanitska, 44, is the director of Borodyanka’s psychoneurological hospital, a government-run center for men with schizophrenia, cerebral palsy, high-needs autism, and other intellectual and developmental disabilities.

For about 50 years, the facility near Kyiv has treated the complex needs of some of Ukraine’s most vulnerable. But there was no precedent for treating the trauma of Russian occupation.
