💨 Abstract

In Lviv, Ukraine, a trumpeter named Yaroslav Simkiv has been providing a somber soundtrack to hundreds of military funeral processions since Russia invaded nearly three years ago. The war, now approaching the 1,000-day mark, has killed thousands and drained resources, with Russia making significant gains in the Donbas region. Many Ukrainians, including Simkiv, believe NATO membership is the only way to end Russian ambitions.
