Deep dives
Changing Mindset and Nation Building
The mindset in Ukraine has drastically changed since the war with Russia began, with younger generations embracing Western values and rejecting pro-Russian sentiment. The war has acted as a catalyst for the nation to solidify its identity and rid itself of Russian influence. Ukrainians have become more socially conscious, caring about environmental issues and supporting local businesses. The war has also led to a cleansing of Ukrainian society, removing individuals who had pro-Russian sentiments or collaborated with Russian forces. This shift in mindset has brought about changes in language usage, religion, and social values, with Ukrainians embracing their own culture and rejecting Russian influences.
