In meat-and-potatoes Ukraine, it isn’t easy being a vegetarian. It’s especially difficult in a small village.
But the Batenkov-Shevlyuk family likely never imagined just how difficult it would be when they moved to the village of Buki in Ukraine’s Zhytomyr region. Last month, the local village council took away the family’s three children.
The authorities claim that the children were hungry and neglected. But the parents insist the decision was discriminatory against their family for being different.
