Tens of thousands of women in Ukraine lost their husbands in the fight against Russia. In the midst of the war, they now have to hold their families together alone in deep grief and fight for recognition of their rights as survivors. As war widows, they are entitled to high compensation from the state for the loss of their husband. The government has significantly increased the compensation for war widows and their families compared to the payments for the families of soldiers killed in Donbass before the Russian offensive in February 2022. This sometimes fuels envy and mistrust among neighbors and friends. And processing the compensation applications sometimes takes a long time, because the country is in the middle of a war, and the necessary evidence of death at the front is sometimes very delayed. #ukraine #war #warwidows Video available until 27/05/2027 Link to the media library: https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/119757-...
