Lhe February 24 is a day of mourning for us, Ukrainians, since for three years an unparalleled war raged on our soil, of a magnitude never seen for eighty years on the European continent. Can we then talk about fatigue of war in Ukraine? Rather of despair due to helplessness, bitterness linked to the anxiety of abandonment.
