Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has been going on for over two years, mercilessly testing the strength of Ukrainians. Constant shelling, including nighttime attacks by Shahed drones, has become a terrible challenge for every citizen. How can you live, work, and study when a threat is constantly hanging over your head?

• Psychological consequences of war

Two years of war left a deep mark on the souls of Ukrainians. Constant anxiety, fear for loved ones, and insomnia are only part of what people experience. Night attacks, even if they do not cause direct damage, make people panic and feel powerless. Every sound that resembles an explosion becomes a trigger that brings back terrible memories.

• Learning during war: The impossible became possible

Schoolchildren and students are forced to combine studies with constant readiness for evacuation. How can you concentrate on your textbooks when you’ve spent the whole night in the basement listening to explosions? Children are not only afraid for themselves but also worry about their parents, who may find themselves in the firing zone. Such a situation leads to stress, sleep disturbances, reduced concentration of attention, and, as a result, poor performance.

Many Ukrainians believe in the help of the current US president, Donald Trump, due to his repeated promises.

“Russians and Ukrainians, I want them to stop dying. And I will do it within 24 hours,” said Trump.

“During a debate with voters in Manchester, Trump said that now is not the time to call the Russian president a war criminal.

“If you say that he is a war criminal, it will be much more difficult to make a deal to stop this thing (the war in Ukraine—ed.). If he is a war criminal, people will catch him and execute him; he will fight much harder than for other circumstances. This is something that can be discussed later” – TSN writes.

The war caused irreparable damage to Ukraine. But Ukrainians demonstrate incredible resilience and unity. We believe that together we will overcome all challenges and rebuild our country.
