After the Russian invasion of his country, Yuriy Makeyev found himself homeless and unemployed: a dangerous combination of circumstances brought the 48-year-old to the brink of a nervous breakdown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Today he tries to deal with mental health problems at a newly opened crisis center in Kiev with the aim of helping Ukrainians cope with the psychological trauma of the war.<\/p>\n
“Here they gave me inspiration, they gave me the hope that I had lost. Emotionally, I had hit rock bottom, so I came. I feel very comfortable, the staff is very nice and very understanding”. <\/em>said patient Yuriy Makeyev.<\/p>\n “Nearly half of the patients here have entered shelters for weeks, if not months, during the bombings. Some are from outside Kyiv. they lost their homes, and found themselves in a new city for them, where they had to start everything from the beginning. They faced not only the bombings, but also a total change in their lives”.<\/em> said Denys Starkov, psychologist at the Sociotherapy Center.<\/p>\n “I had experience with these matters, but not to such a degree. Forecasts show that in the next 10-15 years this will be the main direction of our work because every inhabitant of the country is experiencing a traumatic situation due to the war”.<\/em> said Oleg Olishevsky, head of the therapeutic program.<\/p>\n Dozens of countries pledged today to support Ukraine in what they expect to be a long and expensive recovery, as they agreed that wider reforms are needed to increase transparency and fight corruption.<\/p>\n At the end of the two-day conference in Switzerland, the leaders of nearly 40 countries signed the Lugano Declaration, which presents a set of principles for the reconstruction of Ukraine.<\/p>\n Swiss President Iganzio Cassic, who chaired the conference with Ukrainian officials, said the signed declaration is a key first step on the country’s long road to recovery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n top channel
