The Ukrainian response to the 2022 Russian invasion has inspired a new appreciation for their country both within and beyond Ukraine. The steadfastness of Ukrainians in the defense of their country no longer surprises observers as Ukrainians have demonstrated a deep commitment to their country for more than two years. The stories presented here from the war’s third year highlight the ways in which Ukrainians have explored the meaning of their country and culture through the arts; and the manner in which the arts and their creators have empowered Ukrainians to confront the Russian invaders. They represent an extension of the artistic efforts during the war’s first and second years—chronicled in The Arts of War: Ukrainian Artists Confront Russia. Year One, and Year Two—to bolster Ukraine’s war efforts.

"Ruble’s work on Ukrainian cultural production during the war has received criminally little attention. He ranges widely – from avant-garde basement theater productions in Lviv to new innovations in puppetry, and to how Eastern Ukrainian rappers have responded to national identity formation during the war. He a scholar with a rare breadth of interests and I’m enjoying the new volume and look forward to the fourth!" —Vladislav Davidzon, Kyiv Post, Nov 16th 2025.
