People often use borders on a map to understand countries and homelands, but for some peoples scattered across different places, home is more than just a place.
Many Roma living in Ukraine consider it their home.
After the war began, some joined the military to protect the country, their families, and the future. Ukrainian flags, language, and songs also became more common in the community.
However, they have long faced difficulties in going to school, finding work, getting medical care, obtaining housing, and getting identity documents.
When fleeing to other European countries, some families still faced unfair treatment and even preferred to return to their hometowns in the war zone.
The situation of the Tatars is different again.
They live in Russia and many other parts of the world, without one piece of land that can connect them all.
For them, a homeland often exists in family life, a shared language, music, festivals, and tea-drinking customs.
Land can separate people, but culture can connect groups from different regions and different generations.
Therefore, protecting language, traditions, and communities is sometimes more important than changing borders on a map.
