In the morning, Kyiv lies shrouded in thick smoke. People are counting the dead and wounded. The fifth year of this unrelenting war has left the country exhausted, steadily draining it of its human resources. Those who remain believe the state propaganda less and less. Year after year, it becomes clearer that endless hope and repeated promises end only in another terrible morning like this. Yet some still need more time to accept that a purely military solution is no longer possible.
