Civilian impact of the war in Ukraine

Overview

The ongoing war in Ukraine continues to shape civilian life across different regions, manifesting in both routines of resilience and profound psychological strain.

In Kyiv, residents attempt to maintain a sense of normalcy and dignity despite missile and drone strikes. This includes attending work in professional attire and participating in a daily national minute of silence at nine o’clock to honor fallen soldiers.

In contrast, the situation in Reni, southern Ukraine, highlights a more pervasive state of fear and demographic shifts. Residents report that common sounds like motorcycles or aircraft trigger intense anxiety. The constant sound of air raid sirens has become a defining feature of life, while locals observe fewer children enrolling in school and an increasing number of people leaving the region due to instability and untreated illnesses.
