"Marking Two Years: Reflections on the Russia-Ukraine War Anniversary"

After 2 years of war in Ukraine, NPR visited people in six Ukrainian cities who have adapted, each in their own way, to war and maintained a sense of hope. In Odesa, a tour guide showcases the city's Ukrainian heritage and resilience amid Russian attacks. In Dnipro, a maternity hospital was hit by a Russian missile, but the staff remains hopeful. In Kharkiv, architects plan to rebuild the city after the war, despite ongoing attacks. In Kyiv, a lawyer faces anxiety and joins a civilian defense training course.
