The Lingering Pain of Ukraine's War Widows.

The number of women widowed by Russian forces in Ukraine is growing, with neither side disclosing the exact figures of troops killed. Social media groups for war widows have doubled in size since the conflict began. President Volodymyr Zelensky hosted widows and their children at an honors ceremony to reassure next of kin their loved ones' sacrifice had not been in vain. Support groups have been created to help widows cope with their grief, offering logistical and moral support, and a platform for nearly one thousand widows country-wide to share.
