Some six million people have already fled Ukraine. Among them, 730,000 Ukrainian refugees passed through humanitarian corridors that take them deep into enemy territory. Now they are huddled in isolated camps in the middle of the Russian countryside and many want to leave the country as quickly as possible.

Robin has been prepping for years. This father-of-two from Stockholm always has enough supplies in his apartment for a few weeks. His wife is also a converted prepper. They often go to the woods to spend a few days in the wilderness to teach their children vital survival skills that they might need in a national emergency. Sweden has long lived in fear of a Russian invasion. With the war in Ukraine, the government is sufficiently worried that it's asked Swedes to learn to be self-sufficient.

Re: Preppers in Sweden

In Ireland, cheap peat is still used for heating. Although the country has already stopped industrial peat extraction to protect the climate, locals are allowed to dig it out for their own use. It's a cheap, plentiful fuel in the middle of an energy crisis: letting go won't be an easy task. But peat is a climate killer.

Matthew had a burnout years ago and fled to Portugal to set up his paradise quinta in Portugal. But that sanctuary is now under threat: permission has been granted for an avocado plantation to be built next door. But avocados use up huge amounts of water, and the stream that the quinta depends on as a primary water source is in danger of running dry.

Fisherman Darren Kenyon is from Grimsby in north-east England. Like 70% of the people in the area, he voted for Brexit in the hope for a better deal for the fishing sector. But so far nothing has improved for the industry and the wider region. Former Boris Johnson supporters feel cheated.

Each year in Germany, nearly 16,000 young people under 40 get cancer. Thanks to new treatments, most of these patients can be cured. But many of them lose their jobs, their homes, and their savings. Having not yet contributed enough to the social welfare system to be able to access support, they are left out and some even go into debt.

More than three million people have fled since the Russian army invaded Ukraine. Moldova, the poorest country in Europe, has taken in the second largest number of refugees after Poland. Almost half a million people, mostly mothers with children, have sought refuge here. An almost impossible task for the small country with a total of 2.6 million inhabitants.

Kosovo has been independent since 2008, but the north is still claimed by Serbia. In Mitrovica, the Serbian community lives on the north bank of the river that divides the city, with Kosovar Albanians on the south bank. This is where the headquarters of the Trepca group, once one of the most prosperous companies in Yugoslavia, is located. Except that the mining group's sites are as divided as the city and the country as a whole.
