TETIANIVKA, Ukraine (Reuters) - For 16-year-old Ivan, living with cerebral palsy is made harder by the war raging less than 30 kilometres from his home in eastern Ukraine.
His village of Tetianivka was badly damaged by fighting in the first year of Russia's full-scale invasion: almost every house bears the scars of artillery shelling, and locals say fewer than 200 of 750 residents remain.
