Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

The visual documentation of the destruction and death in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine seems to have cut more deeply into the people’s hearts than similar atrocities elsewhere. Meanwhile, thousands of people are being pushed out of their homes and moving across borders to leave behind the violence. But unlike the refugees who have flooded Europe in other crises over the past decade, they are being welcomed. As we follow the war, we are horrified by the devastation we see and shocked by the courage of the Ukrainian society.
