THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN DURING A REPORTING TRIP ACROSS UKRAINE IN MARCH 2025. I’VE BEEN ALL ACROSS UKRAINE FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS AND I’M ALWAYS STRUCK BY THE BEAUTY OF THE PLACE AND THE PLAY BETWEEN SOVIET NOSTALGIA EMBEDDED IN THE ARCHITECTURE AND THE FORWARD-LOOKING SPIRIT OF RENEWAL EMBODIED AND EXHIBITED BY UKRAINIANS IN CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, EVEN IN THE RUBBLE OF THE WAR.
