The series was taken in Kharkiv, Ukraine. For more than three years since the start of the full-scale russian invasion, Kharkiv has been suffering from shelling by russian missiles, bombs, and strike drones. This is what the residential buildings of peaceful Ukrainians destroyed by the russians look like in the center of 21st-century Europe.

I was born in the Kharkiv region, Ukraine. I`ve been living in Kyiv since 2008. I completed five courses at Kyiv Photography School. I`m a member of the National Society of Photo Artists of Ukraine. I regularly take part in Ukrainian and international photo contests and exhibitions.
