Ukrainian witness: share your story
Ukrainian Witness is a project launched by the Institute for Russian and Eurasian Studies during the first weeks of the full-fledged Russian aggression on Ukraine. We collect stories from Ukrainian scholars – their experiences, thoughts, and ideas about the war. There is no word count or format restrictions: all contributions are welcome.
