I am curious to know what day-to-day life is like in Ukraine now, and how it has changed over the past few years, from before the war and when the war started until now. I understand this is a period of great economic and societal hardship, and I wish Ukraine and all Ukrainians the best in your noble plight. I am not from Europe and live in a very peaceful country in a very peaceful region, where war is not even remotely even discussed or considered a possibility.
I understand that GDP has dropped significantly (20%+) but has been slowly recovering although mostly driven by war expenditure. I also see that inflation and interest rates are exceptionally high. I suppose this points to a weakening economy. What is the economic situation like in Ukraine?
I understand Ukrainian cities have been undergoing bombing for years now. Once again my condolences and love for all Ukrainians. How does this looming threat affect your daily routine, if it does?
What about on the social side? I understand Ukrainian military conscription means almost all men are in the military and that means that women are largely alone in handling home affairs. How does this affect your day-to-day life?
I apologise if these questions sounds naive or might be sensitive. I would love to hear anything you might have to say. If there is anyway I can help please feel free to let me know too. I wish all Ukrainians the best!
