Costs of war stack up on Ukrainian soldiers, civilians
Rows of flags and fresh graves mark the war’s toll as Ukrainians and visitors say daily mourning and drone wounds have become routine.
- In Kyiv, the Independence Square memorial has grown as rows of flags commemorate soldiers killed in the war, watched over the years by Nebraska State Sen Tom Brewer and Don Hutchens.
- Ukrainian chaplain Gennadiy Mokhnenko says cemeteries across the country are swollen with freshly dug graves, embodying a personal cost he knows intimately. "Nine of my sons have been wounded in the war, and two of my sons were killed," he said.
- Drones shape the battlefield, causing about 90% of wounds treated at military hospitals. Wounded veteran Yevhen stated, "There is no safe place in Ukraine," as everything from front lines to deep inland gets hit.
- Ordinary life continues across Ukraine as persistence itself becomes an act of resistance. Hutchens noted that residents continuing work and family routines prevents them from letting the Russians win, despite constant danger.
- Brewer, who has made nine trips to Ukraine, says the world has largely forgotten the conflict. Capital Bureau Chief John Grinvalds visited the war-torn country this summer, documenting how everyday life transforms amid the persistent struggle.
