In Ukraine, such questions have been part of the daily calculus of life. Greta Uehling engages with the lives of ordinary people living in and around the armed conflict over Donbas that began in 2014 and shows how conventional understandings of war are incomplete.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn Ukraine, landscapes filled with death and destruction prompted attentiveness to human vulnerabilities and the cultivation of everyday, interpersonal peace. Uehling explores a constellation of social practices where ethics of care were in operation. People were also drawn into the conflict in an everyday form of war that included provisioning fighters with military equipment they purchased themselves, smuggling insulin, and cutting ties to former friends. Each chapter considers a different site where care can produce interpersonal peace or its antipode, everyday war. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBridging the fields of political geography, international relations, peace and conflict studies, and anthropology, \u003ci\u003eEveryday War\u003c\/i\u003e considers where peace can be cultivated at an everyday level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Everyday War\u003cbr\u003e 1. \"Now We Have Funeral after Funeral\": The Conflict over the Conflict in Donbas\u003cbr\u003e 2.
