Part 5/9:
On reaching the eastern city of Dnipro, the traveler notes a juxtaposition of new developments emerging alongside walls bearing the scars of war. The interview with local residents uncovers a common thread: a determination to carry on with life despite the unrelenting pressure of war.

In cafes and restaurants, life continues; social gatherings and business ventures persist, creating a sense of what some locals refer to as "war-life balance."
