Anastasiia Kostenko was born in Kyiv. She’s now a teenager, going to school. When the air raid sirens wail, her entire class has to run to a shelter – a routine part of life for young Ukrainians. The war in Ukraine has dragged on for over years now, and peace talks are little talk and no peace.  After leaving school, Anastasiia plans to study chemistry. But she has no plans to leave Ukraine, no matter how much longer the war lasts.   
Our reporters Viktoriia Pokatilova and Gönna Ketels look at life in Ukraine.
