"Ukrainian Youth: Surviving War and Building New Dreams"

The full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia has forced young Ukrainians between the ages of 18-25 to make difficult choices, from assimilating into foreign cultures abroad to defending Ukraine's sovereignty on the front line. Despite the trauma and challenges they face, many young adults express a desire to achieve great things that will benefit the future of Ukraine, with aspirations to return home and contribute to rebuilding the country. The war has disrupted the typical university experience, with students in Ukraine facing the dual challenges of completing their studies and staying alive amidst the ongoing conflict. The impact of the war on the mental well-being of young people serving in the military is evident, but they remain determined to persevere and hope for a peaceful future.
