Villages under the wheels. Why Ukrainian highways are deadly for pedestrians

"Where are you rushing off to?! Look, they’re not even stopping!" says Valentyn Hrushetskyi, a resident of Reya, a village located between Zhytomyr and Berdychiv (cities in Ukraine) on highway M-21, commenting on people’s attempts to cross the road. Reya is one of many villages through which intercity and international highways run. In such villages, both adults and children risk their lives every day to get to the store, school, or stadium, either by crossing at an unregulated crosswalk or running straight across the road.

Russia uses low-tier news sites and mass comments on social media to shift public opinion and minimize support for Ukraine, as well as to deepen internal social divisions and Euroscepticism. The Kremlin operates not as a sprinter, but as a marathon runner. It does not expect an immediate effect — its strategy relies on repeatedly spreading the desired narratives and slowly eroding trust in mainstream media and level-headed politicians.
