To wake up with war inside it

Yesterday, the Ukrainians in Alta could mark three years with a full scale war in their home country, a Russian attack war that has cost too many lives and sent too many on the run from the fixed and safe frames.

Frames one should be careful to take for granted. The Chief of Defense is also aware that it is allowed to be concerned. It is a healthy reflex in a troubled world, so you may not need to grow the fear because of the news picture.

When Altaposten interviews the refugees, including in connection with February 24, they are particularly keen to emphasize the gratitude they know.

The fact that they are in a safe and peaceful country, at a satisfactory distance from Putin's war machinery, is a tremendous value when having children and dear family members.

We do not need to doubt that. We have our own witnesses from 2nd World War who knew the same during war and forced evacuation, even though it is a long time ago.

At the same time, one cannot escape from reality. It can be merciless and consist of need and grief after what happens in the home country. Then the acts of war tend to be brutal and merciless.

When toddler mom Yuliia says that she wakes up with war inside her, we think many people realize that the war is in, both night and day.

Being a refugee often means carrying trauma and memories that do not disappear. Then, for example, it is anything but easy to learn a distant language.

The concentration must be involved when going on, at school and at work. These are arenas that often provide the best integration.

This year, the marking has probably been extra painful and difficult, partly because Fake News has become something far more than a conspiratorial stumbling thread we find on real -life websites, specialized to confuse opinion.

Prior to this year's mark, the Ukrainian people have experienced that truth and reality are put to the test, that documented facts are destroyed by a toxic word change, without credible hooks.

Like President Trump accuses Ukraine of starting the war, led by a dictator.

It is sought and it must be extremely hurtful for those who know the reality of the body – and pay the price. Then, of course, there is hope, that the movements that have been started can end with peace, but it must happen on both parties' premises.

If not, the danger of long -term disadvantage is quite great.
