Ukrainians strengthen resolve against Russian invasion with small acts of resistance and beauty designed to keep up morale while enemy PSYOP targets police.
the Ukrainian law enforcement — and with it, the spirit of their people — this PSYOP hasn’t worked. After spending a week in Ukraine as a guest of General Nebytov, I’m convinced Russian President Vladimir Putin came nowhere near demoralizing the Ukrainian people. Instead, I discovered how the Ukrainians have shown resistance in 100 small ways.For the Ukrainians, this ordeal has lasted eight months thus far, and Russians have actively worked to intensify the trauma of their invasion.
Pavel Maraev, a Ukrainian social worker, gave me a glimpse of the compounding stress his fellow Ukrainians are enduring."People who are worried about being killed in a rocket attack, or who’ve lost loved ones, or whose home is now a pile of rubble — those people are traumatized," he said. Given this widespread tragedy, he stated,"We think as many as one-third of the population has some degree of PTSD.
During World War II, this prisoner was starving to death, yet he saved breadcrumbs to feed a wild bird that visited him in his cell each day. Years later, the former prisoner said that having the bird in his life fortified his will to live. The brave Ukrainian women, like the prisoner who fed the wild bird, will not let their spirits be crushed. By creating even small moments of reprieve, they are defeating the Russian attempts to demoralize their people. While visiting a bombed-out police training center near the Belarus border, I found another example of this resiliency of spirit. Today, six months after the bombing, the smoky remains of the training center resemble a fire-and-brimstone hellscape.
