Ukraine through our eyes.
Not anonymous images from afar, but photographs taken during visits to Kyiv. They show two sides of the same city: everyday life continuing, alongside the visible consequences of the war.
People who keep going.
A visit to Kyiv reveals more than war damage. You see people going to work, families in the streets, shops and cafés staying open, and a city that refuses to stand still.
At the same time, the traces of war are never far away. Damaged buildings, destroyed homes and small reminders reveal what lies behind the numbers: places, stories and, above all, people.
The morning after the attack.
In April 2025, Kyiv was hit hard once again. These images show not only damaged buildings, but above all how closely the consequences of war touch everyday life.
Quiet moments in a winter city.
In January, Kyiv shows a very different face. Snow and winter cold cast an almost silent blanket over the city. The Dnipro, Maidan and the streets appear calm and at times almost deserted.
Amid these quiet winter scenes, war and loss are never far away. The Ukrainian flag flies at half-mast, while the Wall of Remembrance and the many memorial flags on Maidan recall those who will not return. Even a simple generator in the snow says something about an everyday reality changed by war.
A winter city full of quiet moments — beautiful and moving, yet with the war constantly in the background.
Two realities side by side.
In June 2026, ordinary city life sometimes exists literally alongside visible war damage. This selection forms one report: everyday moments, destruction and human details that together tell the story.
Why we show this.
Our support is not about abstract figures. These photos help show who and what we are committed to supporting. Ukraine is more than the war alone. It is a country where people continue to live, work, care for one another and look ahead.
