Deep dives
Ukrainians remain determined despite challenges
Despite the ongoing war in Ukraine, the people of Zaparesia display resolute determination. Local officials in Zaparesia are not concerned about Russia taking over the nuclear power plant or striking infrastructure. They believe that even in the worst-case scenario, where electricity and heat are cut off for weeks, they are prepared to endure. However, Ukraine faces challenges in terms of drone technology, with their drones being less sophisticated than Russian ones. Additionally, soldiers in the Ukrainian army experience family breakdown, alcohol abuse, and high levels of PTSD, which require attention from the society at large.
