Heartbreaking book I think everyone should read at least once to hear from those directly impacted by the war.

This is a really important book and, despite feeling like I was reliving watching the news of the first days of the war, I was glad to read it. As we have watched the horrors of this war unfold on the news, we tend only to be presented with things from a large-scale, big-picture point of view. We learn the details of offensives and counteroffensives, of diplomacy and war crimes, of the numbers of weapons and casualties.
It can be really difficult to remember that this war has immense impacts on the small scale, too. Most of the time, the news doesn't focus on the day-to-day lives of people impacted by this. But that's exactly the aspect of this war that we need to keep in mind. The goal of the war is the conquest and genocide of a people, and we can only understand the true horror of that when we examine what it means in the scope of the lives of individuals.
I want to thank Yeva for keeping this diary and offering it to the world. She writes beautifully, and I hope she keeps writing. I hope that one day soon, she can write a sequel about her return to her home in Kharkiv. Slava Ukraini. 💙💛
