you very much professor ali mokdad. let's return now to our main story and the conflict in ukraine. among the millions of people who escaped from ukraine after the russian invasion were children and young people with disabilities, some of them profound. now the government of ukraine has come under criticism from the united nations for insisting that they remain in institutions in their country of refuge — instead of with their families. over the summer, a bbc news team exposed a care system in ukraine that neglected and abused thousands of disabled people. they found disabled adults living in cots, and children tethered to benches in its network of orphanages. our correspondent danjohnson reports now from poland, where some disabled ukrainian refugees are now living in better conditions. when i first saw them, it was a huge shock for me cos they were in terrible condition. these are the young disabled ukrainians of kharkiv as they arrived in poland soon after the start of the war — evacuated from an institutional care
