War-related trauma in Ukraine: Part 2. Ukraine in Flames

Описание: After the morning of February 24, the whole Ukrainian society became united not only in fighting the Russian aggression in every possible way but also through collective trauma. We can see its first effects today: people can no longer make long-term plans fearing they may be destroyed by the Russian war. Both the military and civilians suffer from various psychological conditions. How does their experience differ, what exactly is collective trauma, and how long will it take for Ukraine to have a trauma-free society? This is the second part of Ukraine In Flames issue dedicated to exploring Ukrainian trauma. Watch the first episode here: https://uacrisis.org/en/ukraine-in-fl...
