Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Country: Ukraine Cities: Kharkiv, Kyiv, Lysyschansk, Bilohorodka, Irpin

2022

Soon after Russia invaded Ukraine, I traveled there from Los Angeles. I spent a month documenting the effects of the war across the country and its horrors perpetrated on the civilian population. These photographs from Lviv, Kyiv, Kharkiv, and the Donbass show the daily lives of Ukrainians living in constant fear and suffering the brutality of the Russian military.
