Nothing today seems as urgent as covering the topic of the war in Ukraine and the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Since the beginning of the war, my focus has shifted to stories of the courage of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who have given their lives for a better future. It's difficult to write about those who will never return home alive from the war. It's emotionally difficult to talk with their families, choose the right words for my reportages, and share their grief and despair. I have written about the life of IDPs, and shared challenges they face due to illness, unemployment, and financial hardship.

But aside from the emotional challenges, there are practical ones. When the enemy destroyed my home in March 2024, and later the newspaper’s office, I had to seek shelter in a safer place. Even though we relocated, frequent power outages due to shelling, drained power banks, and the lack of internet make work difficult. But this doesn't scare me, and I find ways to keep working because I know our readers are eagerly waiting for the newspaper, which for almost 95 years has covered the life of the community and supported its spirit.
