Psychologist’s notes: who are Ukrainians in the war

The confrontation continues.

Ukrainians are bravely, almost alone, except for investments from some states, bearing the madness of the largest country in the world. The efforts of the Ukrainian people in faith and struggle have led to such significant resistance. Therefore, it is not necessary to prove once again that Ukraine’s war against terrorist russia is an authentic war that will give future generations confirmation:

• Unique creative and skilful activity of the Ukrainian military command,
• highly effective management activities in the organization of terrorist defence by city mayors and heads of local and village councils,
• the incredible movement of volunteering and the self–organization of the people and the population,
• the fierce desire of every Ukrainian to unite and become an integral mechanism working for victory.

After a long wait, the world will be surprised by the strength and courage of every Ukrainian in their efforts to save their Ukraine.

Therefore, before we dive into the experiences of other countries and calculate their technologies in labelling the phenomena of Ukrainians in the war, I think we should understand our own experience, give it an appropriate definition and function, and only then appropriate it, not as a content, but as a method of overcoming it. In particular, not all Ukrainians are traumatized, except children who have suffered or participated in active hostilities. Not all military personnel and Ukrainians are affected by PTSD.

So, what the world should know about because Ukrainians are living with it:

1. The Ukrainian psyche has never been inert. Constant searching is inherent in it. And only when it did not have access to novelty did it decline. That is why, when Ukraine gained its freedom thirty years ago, it immediately started giving birth to other people.
2. The Ukrainian body is psychically tough and durable.
3. The ability to work is inherent in Ukrainians at the level of genotype and phenotype.
4. Ukrainians are characterized by anxiety, which disappears when there is danger.

What should Ukrainians not do in a war?

1. Do not trust politicians.
2. Do not have doubts.
3. Do not be alienated.
4. Don’t be hopeful.
5. You should not take the suffering of others onto yourself.

And most importantly, you should do and be what you see yourself as. It is the main secret trait of a Ukrainian – never lose faith in oneself. And the moment this happens, Ukrainians can kick the asses of thugs and send terrorists to the right place. Ukrainians have always indicated a place for such categories of the human bottom
