Today marks 900 days since the start of the full scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine. I remember that first day of the war like it was yesterday. Every detail. This nightmare is far from over.

The last few days there have been a lot of funny memes about Ukraine’s move into the Russian city of Kursk. From what I read in the news and the general vibe I get from friends and colleagues in Kyiv is that Ukraine’s morale has been boosted.

Make no mistake though, people are dying, and so many are suffering. The past month was the deadliest month so far for Ukrainian civilians, reports the UN. At least 219 civilians were killed and 1,018 injured in Ukraine in the past month.
