How to plan the future when you're young and Ukrainian? Two years after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Maksim still lives in Kyiv despite the daily bomb alerts. Mariya fled to Brussels in the aftermath of the invasion, joining the millions of displaced Ukrainians seeking refuge across Europe. In interviews with ENTR, both explained their very different daily lives, mixed with fears and hopes.
It's the night of February 24, 2022. Maksim, 23, will never forget: "Two explosions woke me up. At 5am my father called me, and said: 'Maksim, I love you, I hug you tightly, please come back home, I'm leaving'. That is, he left to go to the front line to protect us."
