Kharkiv (Ukraine) (AFP) – Ukrainian pensioner Grygory Gladysh is the last occupant of a shelled residential block in Kharkiv, having seen everyone leave since the start of the war. The 79-year-old refuses to leave, saying it is too late for him to start over again elsewhere.Instead, he has endured bombing and several gruelling winters, largely alone, living off food rations and without heating or access to running water. “There’s no end in sight,” Gladysh says. “No one has said anything sensible yet — neither Russia nor Ukraine.”
