Just talked to a Ukrainian journalist. She believes that civil society in her country is strong, and that there is a new sense of citizenship in the country. A real, lasting change has taken place, with new networks, new people in the parliament etc. On the one hand, the war is a huge burden. Because in order to reform, powerful people need to be pushed back, and that will weaken the nation, as those powerful people control a lot of things. On the other hand, the war also leads to a new patriotism. People dont sacrifice just to make oligarchs more rich, they sacrifice for the nation. They want something in return: better governance, a better life.
