9. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Andrii Dubina, 19, Kyiv resident:
"Personally, I believe that this (ceasefire) is unlikely in the near future in the short term, since each of the parties does not have such weakened military forces and is not interested in an immediate ceasefire, since it has the resources for further fighting. It is worth understanding that Ukraine will continue to fight, which is evident from public sentiment. After all, we clearly understand that Russia will not give us the opportunity to live peacefully and calmly, so our people are determined to continue fighting. The Russian imperialists do not want to let us live peacefully, because they do not recognize our right to exist, so we are forced to fight."

11. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Andrii Dubina, 19, Kyiv resident:
"Personally, I don’t know if the Trump administration is listening to us, but I believe and am confident that the citizens of the United States in every corner of this great and beautiful country are listening to us. Therefore, I hope that they will continue to put pressure on their government to help our people and our country."

19. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Mariana, 28:
"I think If It (the shelling) stop, It will stop for about a couple of years, then it will all start again. As it was in 2014, the war started and went on. So I think it will not end like that. Some kind of negotiations will be possible, but not for a long time. But unfortunately, we will not return the people."
20. Various of people walking
21. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Dmytro, 30, Chernihiv resident:
"Do I believe that this conversation will lead to something – well, probably yes. Someday, all this must end and lead to some action, the end of the war. How quickly this will happen – I don’t think it will be soon."
