KHOTYANIVKA, Ukraine (Reuters) - Yulia Yanchar hopes that she and her family will return to the new home they were forced to abandon on Saturday as war came to their village just north of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.

"We lived in rented flats for 10 years in order to build our house. And now, finally, we were moving in. And we were excited about every picture we hung on the wall," Yanchar, who works as a PR director in a charity fund, told Reuters.
