war

Along the front lines between Russia and Ukraine, battles are fierce and the casualty numbers are mounting. In response, Russia is doing everything it can to recruit new soldiers. Its main solution has been to offer financial incentives, including high salaries and signing bonuses.

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, people have been evacuating and safeguarding Ukrainian works of art and museum pieces. Now, a team of conservators and students are also creating permanent, 3D records of buildings and objects that can’t be moved in case they are damaged or destroyed.

Many Ukrainians are turning to poetry as a symbol of patriotism and resistance. Some say it’s a creative platform to express their feelings about the war or to stir a degree of national pride during wartime. 

After being lured into the Russian military with promises of “helper” jobs, young men from India find themselves training to fire weapons and getting caught up in combat with no way out.

Since Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian writers have filled the shelves of local bookstores with stories to help young kids understand and process the war around them.
