WAR

23.02.2022 WAS A USUAL DAY

Ukrainians go to bed peacefully planning for tomorrow
People living in Ukraine went to bed with plans for tomorrow:
  • how they would take their children to kindergarten or school;
  • how they would go to work;
  • how they would go on holiday;
  • how they would meet friends and
    spend time with them...

But those plans weren't destined to happen...

24.02.2022 A WAR HAS BEGUN

At 4am, 24.02.2022
Ukrainians woke up
to the roar of explosions

Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa, Dnipro...
All these cities simultaneously became
a huge traffic jam of cars with panicked 
people trying to leave the major cities,
not knowing where to go
and what to do...
