Olena Kozak's experience reflects the profound impact of war on civilians in Ukraine, highlighting not just physical losses but a deep mental health crisis as well.
The WHO estimates that around 9.6 million Ukrainians face mental health challenges due to the war, with 30% of soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Health Minister Viktor Liashko warned that about 15 million Ukrainians will require psychological support, and up to four million may need medical treatment for mental health issues.
Despite the ongoing conflict, the practice of mental health care in Ukraine was already limited, with only one professional available for every 100,000 inhabitants.
