How war is shaping Ukrainian literature

Ukrainian literature, like many other aspects of our country, has been significantly affected by the war. Previously we spoke about veteran and volunteer prose, but since February 24 of 2022, the Russian-Ukrainian war has become a cornerstone of all Ukrainian literature. War-related literature in Ukraine has already been developing for 10 years, but Russian aggression has now reached a new level. For almost three years, we have been living amid mobilization, rocket fire, and constant destruction.
