GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
The Kyiv shooting is a disturbing mirror: a former soldier who shoots up a cafe, officers who flee, a chief who resigns. While Ukraine fights Russia, it also fights its own internal fractures — war trauma, institutional trust, violence seeping into daily life. Zelensky's warning about Russian general mobilisation adds existential urgency to a country already raw.
