As we approach the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, FRANCE 24's Erin Ogunkeye welcomes celebrated Ukrainian novelist and author Andrey Kurkov to share his very powerful and personal accounts of a veritable proxy war, an unprovoked war of attrition as seen from his war diaries 'Our Daily War'. "Every small detail of life is now very different from pre-war Ukraine, he explains. "We're all now different people: I've lost my feeling of value for material, my feeling that my house and my apartment don't belong to me anymore, they belong to the war."
