Winning The War

“No matter how much we hate war, no matter what calamity or visitations it brings, at some point it always becomes our test of endurance. In view of this, critical comments about independence, which Ukraine, supposedly, had gained bloodlessly, will always sound cynical – because those who think so never take neither prior experience of fighting for it, nor the necessity of defending it into account.” Taras Lyuty, acclaimed Ukrainian philosopher and writer, dissects the nature of war. This guest editorial is written within the PEN Ukraine “Dialogues on War” project, supported by the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine.
