1. Anna, Kyiv
"On February 23, I was at a stand-up, seeing a good friend. Two days later, I was already in a settlement nestled in the mountains, where I sought solace in photographing nature.
On February 24, I never took a photo. That day we went to #Zakarpattia where a friend of my parents sheltered us.
On February 24, I was so nervous during the journey, fearing that a missile might directly hit us. It was the worst day of my life."
2. Viktoriia, Ivano-Frankivsk
“After a truly long day with first air raid sirens and explosions, amidst uncertainty, I went out to find coffee.
The baristas, Kolya and Liubava, told me that the coffee was for free. They did it to support people. They also added that if I wanted to, I could leave a tip, which they would send to the #Ukrainian army.
I nearly cried from this show of kindness and resilience of Ukrainian people.”
3. Natalia, #Kyiv
“In this photo, I'm crying in the car on the way to western #Ukraine.
My father came to Kyiv to organize my trip. He himself stayed in Kyiv and then joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine. My partner Zhenia remained in the capital as well, and after seeing me off went back to his workplace (he is a doctor)”.

The events and activities, described in the book, take place between two Ukrainian revolutions - the Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Dignity. The communities I describe have one thing in common: they are all part of a political nation. 3/
Europe's conception of itself after the second world war focused on the self-evidence of peace. It asked how peace could be enlarged territorially, but not how peace should be defended.

Forbidden to be who you truly are and being torn away from your roots - this is the agony Ukrainian children are put through after their deportation and occupation.
How does Russia forcefully “re-educates” Ukraine children? Read here👇 1/
The Russian policy of forced “re-education” is genocidal in nature because, in the context of deportation, children are forcibly relocated from one ethnic group to another in order to change their identity. 2/
Discriminatory practices are enforced on all Ukrainian children under occupation. They must study Russian language, history, and culture without the Ukrainian alternative. Thus, Ukrainian children are cut off from their normal cultural environment. 3/
