Before the Russian military invaded Ukraine, 20-year-old Rehina Solodovnik described her life in the river city of Dnipro as idyllic.
"Before everything happened, I believe I had the best life possible. I have a loving family — my grandma, my aunt, my parents, my baby brother was born last year," she said. "I have a part-time job as an English tutor."
Some of those she tutored were Russians, who connected with her online, from across the border. When the war broke out, her teaching stopped. But she's still getting text messages from the Russians.
