I you... War. 100 love stories w.ukraińska

War loses its might in the face of love, which emerges against all odds, providing the strength needed to persevere. In its embrace, individuals can endure unimaginable hardships: captivity, injuries, vast separations, and countless sleepless nights. Concepts such as age, gender, and fear fade into insignificance. Even when love, shared by two, must navigate the journey of life while bearing the grief of loss, it remains unyielding. This book conveys the poignant tales of Ukrainian men and women who found or parted from each other amid the turmoil of war. It recounts stories of hurried weddings following a mere three dates, of intimate ceremonies in hospitals void of traditional attire and celebrants, and of unforgettable sea-colored eyes seen for the last time... These narratives illustrate love's formidable power to dispel darkness.Launched in 2022 by Khrystyna Bilyakovska and Viktoria Sereda, the social initiative titled "I Love You... War" seeks to uncover, document, and share accounts of love enduring amidst conflict. The authors, along with their dedicated team, chronicle the diverse experiences of myriad couples—ranging from soldiers and healthcare workers to volunteers and rescuers—who have navigated the complexities of love during such tumultuous times.
