In Kyiv's Podil district, a gathering of artists and activists celebrated the end of their previous reality following a controversial press conference where U.S. leaders criticized Ukrainian President Zelensky. The event reflected widespread feelings of anger, support, and anxiety among Ukrainians regarding potential U.S. withdrawal of military support. As the reality of escalating tensions sinks in, these individuals seek solace in community, conveying a sense of urgency given the potential for increased conscription in light of the ongoing conflict with Russia.
The press conference sent shock waves through Ukrainian civil society, where the reaction was almost universally a mix of support, anger, and fear.
I wanted to make sure I could see all these people again because I will probably be drafted soon.
