We left our body armor at the door, despite the low thumps of artillery in the distance, because it seemed rude to bring that small reminder of violence into their kitchen. Anatoliy and Svetlana, as they introduced themselves, had been married for 46 years, and had spent the entire war thus far in their house in Pisky with their cat Murko. After tea gave way to sweet plum brandy, and dusk fell, they showed us out through their small garden. In front of the house, they had sketched a message in blue chalk on the metal door of their garage. It read “PEOPLE LIVE HERE. AND CAT MURKO.” It was both a reminder and a plea, one that has not changed in eight years of war. People live in Ukraine. They are not expendable. Their beehives and gardens and cats and lives are not tokens to be exchanged in boardrooms by men in suits.
