Opinion by Iuliia Mendel: Why Ukrainians should remain hopeful
On Dec. 31, Russia launched massive missile and droneon Ukraine. I was hiding in the bathroom and my neighbors were sitting in our common corridor when a visitor appeared from the stairwell. It was a delivery man. He had defied the air raid sirens and the sounds of explosions to climb all the way to the 15th floor to bring us the food that we had ordered the day before.
This example might strike some as trivial. Yet it is a good illustration of how Ukrainian society has responded to this devastating war. Despite the destruction and the darkness, the people of this country are coming together and discovering strength and skills we never knew we had. Rather than give in, Ukrainians have been taking matters into their own hands — and the country will be a better place for it once the war is over.
