Thinking about it, it's what we've already had since 2014, which was when the war actually began. Only at that time it was much less prominent and covered less area, hence the sense of normality was easier to maintain. Even here in Ukraine, many lived as though nothing was happening. "Yeah, we have some conflict in the eastern part, yeah, Russia's annexed Crimea, but other than that everything's fine, nothing to worry about." I have to admit that was very close to my way of thinking during those years. Partly the reason was that the conflict wasn't officially called a war, it was just an anti-terrorist operation. But for the people in Donbas it was as much an actual war as it's been for everyone since February 24th. Even so, most of Ukraine isn't occupied or near the front lines, so life must go on (as much as possible, yes).
