‘U.S.-Western democracy vs. Russia-China authoritarianism’ spreads into confrontation
Biden visits Poland for the first year… Putin’s ‘counter-speech’
7,000 civilians killed… Ukraine “We have no choice but to fight until the end”
However, an atmosphere of fear was detected as Russia, which marked the first year of the invasion, predicted a counterattack this spring. English teacher Oleksandra Beirasi said, “My friends who fled to Germany and Italy are watching with bated breath whether there will be a major Russian air raid. They say that if Kiyiwu passes the spring without any major problems, he will come home.”
There were also considerable voices complaining of concerns about additional casualties and mental stress. Mr. Olek, a soldier he met at Kiiwu Rehabilitation Center, said he lost his closest childhood friend on January 1 of this year. He underwent major surgery after being injured by a land mine shrapnel.
Dr. Palamarchuk said, “It is very sad and very difficult when the work is over.” He was trying hard to stay calm in order to treat seriously injured soldiers, but it was difficult to keep his composure. Lyubov Aksenova, who fled from Domitsk as a refugee, appealed, saying, “Every day people say that someone has been lost in this building.”
Some citizens expressed dissatisfaction that the government was not speeding up the reconstruction project as much as the public expected. Mr. Nazarenko came to a refugee settlement after his house was burnt down in a Russian bombing raid. He sighed, saying, “The government only installed the windows of the apartment, and everything inside is in a state of destruction,” and “I don’t know when the house will be repaired.”
