Alina Rohach, Project Manager of the Spain and Latin America Cooperation Program at the Transatlantic Dialogue Center<\/em>, joined Canal 26<\/strong> to discuss everyday life in Ukraine under Russia\u2019s full-scale war, the country\u2019s democratic resilience, and Ukraine\u2019s long-term security needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the interview, Rohach<\/strong> explained that Ukrainians continue to live, work, study, and maintain the functioning of the state despite daily Russian attacks. She emphasized that while war has become part of everyday reality, it has not been normalized<\/strong>. Ukraine\u2019s economy, public services, businesses, and communities continue to operate<\/strong>, showing the country\u2019s ability to adapt under constant pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rohach<\/strong> also addressed the state of Ukrainian society, noting that war fatigue is natural after years of full-scale invasion, but it does not mean readiness<\/strong> to accept Russian aggression. Ukrainians continue to debate politics, criticize the government, and take part in public discussions, proving that democratic life remains active even under martial law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversation also focused on Ukraine\u2019s security needs. Rohach<\/strong> stressed that NATO membership is, for Ukraine, a matter of long-term protection, not only a political goal. The future security system<\/strong> must prevent Russia from rebuilding its forces and launching another invasion in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She underlined that continued European support remains critical \u2013 militarily, financially, politically, and technologically. Ukraine is defending not only its own sovereignty, but also the principle that borders in Europe cannot be changed by force<\/strong>. The outcome of the war will shape the European security architecture for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Rohach<\/strong> discussed the role of drones<\/strong> and Ukraine\u2019s asymmetric creativity on the battlefield. She noted that unmanned systems help Ukraine compensate for Russia\u2019s quantitative advantages and demonstrate how rapidly technology is transforming<\/strong> modern warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
