Life in Ukraine after 1000 days of war

Ukrainians share their experiences of the war.

It鈥檚 a grim milestone: More than 1000 days have passed since Russia鈥檚 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In the past week, attacks on the country have once again intensified. As winter approaches and temperatures drop, Russia is targeting Ukraine鈥檚 energy system to leave millions of people without power.

In our conversations Ukrainians discuss their daily lives and resilience after almost three years of war; and we hear from people in Dnipro and Odesa recovering from the latest attacks.

鈥淲e鈥檙e being attacked not only with the rockets but also psychologically,鈥 Lidia in Dnipro tells us. 鈥淲e as a society have shown incredible strength and we have united in the face of the enemy.鈥

We also bring together three Ukrainian politicians to discuss how they keep democracy alive while maintaining a united front to the World; and ask whether Donald Trump could really end the war in a day.
