Oleksandra Nekipelova sat down at a desk in her apartment, lit a small candle and opened her computer to join a video call. “Tell me, please, what would you like to talk about this time?” Ms. Nekipelova asked. Valeriia Korotchenko, her client, responded that she was feeling “fundamentally powerless against the war” launched by Russia on Ukraine. Near-daily Russian air attacks had made destruction and death a new normal in her life, she said. “I lose faith that I will ever be able to live peacefully,” Ms. Korotchenko told Ms. Nekipelova, who lives in Lviv, Ukraine.
