Ukraine

Lena (Berlin). This war for me is Mahabharata 2.0, an endless epic tragedy of “us” against “us”. A war in which both sides are initially doomed to defeat is simply a fact of war itself. And everyone is their own Arjuna, deciding the right course of action. It is within the self because few have the privilege of choice. Several generations have been robbed of their present and future and given the end of an era.
I was born in Zaporozhye and have been living in Berlin for 17 years. So of course my experience is not relevant here. My best friend stayed near Kiev with her husband and young son, although she could have left. She never complains, never blames anyone, she just tries to live and support others.
It seems that the end of this war will not be met by the victors, but by the survivors. They will need all their strength to build a new reality. Please stay there and take care of yourself.
