But as attacks increasingly take place during daylight hours, interrupting work, school, and everyday life, many are finding themselves adapting to a reality that once seemed unimaginable. What happens when the prospect of death becomes part of the daily routine? “After years, when you hear the air raid siren during the night when I’m sleeping next to the window, sometimes you have to choose: do you want to leave, or do you want to sleep?” Nataliia Lutsenko, anchor at War & Politics 24, told TVP World. “This is how your brain is adapting. (...) Sometimes I’m just like: ‘No. I’m staying. (...) At first I thought, this is not okay that I’m reacting this way.” Another way Ukrainians deal with the situation is a dark sense of humor. Ultimately: “Ukrainians feel that death is something inevitable,” Lutseonko said. “It’s just after almost five years of a full-scale invasion, you’re just realizing that this is going to happen to you.” Join TVP World’s Ashim Kumar and his guest as they explore how Kyiv residents are coping with increasingly intense daytime attacks, whether Ukraine is prepared for another winter of strikes on critical infrastructure, and why growing war fatigue has not diminished Ukrainians’ determination to continue resisting Russia’s invasion.
