Cover Story
On the Cover: Anastasiia Mokhina, 24, an email marketer in Kyiv. “Two weeks before the war, my boyfriend proposed to me, so I was planning a wedding and thinking about a white dress. On February 24, by 10 a.m., he and I were at the military-enlistment office, where my father and his comrades-in-arms were waiting for us. Now, my father, fiancé, and I are serving in Kyiv. I am on duty at checkpoints, checking cars and suspicious people, studying tactical medicine, creating lists of necessary equipment. The first days were difficult. I’d remember the morning makeup, hair, shower, and comfortable apartment. But soon these memories stopped popping up. I’ve adapted.”
