100 days. When Russia started its invasion in February, it was impossible to imagine this catastrophe would be on for 100 days with still no end in sight.

100 days may sound vague, but each day represents thousands of tragedies: lives lost, people tortured and raped, homes destroyed.

But it’s not all a pure nightmare, it’s also a time of revelations. People show their true colors, ideas get shaped, and societal trends manifest themselves.
