Ukraine marks 1,000 days of war with a day of violence and resilience
Ukraine marked 1,000 days since Russia's full-scale invasion with a day of violence and resilience. In Zaporizhzhia, a Russian bomb destroyed a dormitory, injuring residents. Other attacks in Mykolaiv and Kryvyi Rih resulted in casualties, highlighting ongoing dangers. Despite the war, life continues. Swimmers in Odesa brave the Black Sea, while steelworkers at Zaporizhstal face challenges from power cuts and reduced staff. Medical professionals like Dr. Vladyslava Friz perform numerous surgeries on war injuries, struggling with limited resources. Families adapt to the conflict, with Yulia Ponomarenko welcoming a new baby while her husband fights at the front. Theater groups have relocated to Kyiv, performing to full houses, demonstrating a commitment to culture amid adversity.
