For the Vasylkivskas war has meant preparation. They keep bags packed if they need to run to the shelter suddenly. Gennadii carries a 37-pound power bank back from his office each day, up 20 flights of stairs.

Then there’s the Sokolenkos and their unforgettable dog, Brad Pitt, or Pitt for short. (They picked the name, they said, because of the resemblance.) They told us about how the war has changed them — the languages they speak, the holidays they celebrate, the moments they value.

The Kosiachenkos’ two young twins don’t understand why their country is at war. But they understand that they can’t leave home without their mini flashlights. Even if the power is on it could go out at any moment.

Through text messages, photos, videos and interviews, Ukrainians shared with us how swiftly their normal lives were upended, how fresh the trauma of war feels and how torn they are over whether to leave their homes.

The Post contacted 194 governments around the world, conducted dozens of interviews and collected government statements to find out where Afghans have fled. The analysis found that they have ended up in more than 40 countries. (graphic by @juledurg)
