Villagers are preparing for another possible invasion, still haunted by the memories of the brutal Russian occupation. The region's infrastructure has been severely damaged, with ongoing struggles to rebuild homes, restore utilities, and clear fields of mines and unexploded ordnance. The population, predominantly Ukrainian, has endured significant loss and trauma, leading to divisions within the community.
