The war in Ukraine has been going on for three months. In that short period, millions of Ukrainians became refugees, hundreds of thousands were left homeless, and tens of thousands of civilians died at the hands of the Russian occupiers. During this time, we have become different, and our lives will never be the same as before February 24, 2022. Zaborona shows how Ukraine lived through these three months of war.
