Roman SheremetaAug 12, 2026Please don’t start with: “stay strong” if you want to support someone living through war. What if we’re simply tired… and don’t want to be strong anymore? And the truth is…The people who seem the strongest are often the ones who are the most exhausted from being strong. Similarly, Ukrainians from territories occupied since 2014 have been conscripted into the russian military and thrown into brutal “meat assaults” against their own country. Thanks to this system, a future wave of mobilization in russia may look different from the outside than the 2022 mobilization.
