Although the Ukraine-Russia conflict may no longer be the top international focus, with continued fighting and missile attacks causing casualties and significant damage to Ukraine's power facilities, Ukrainian women are stepping up to learn how to operate large farm equipment in the absence of male workers who have been called to the frontlines.
