- The description on the image reads, "A mural dedicated to Mariupol has been created in Lviv to support the displaced people from this city. A resident of Lviv shares her thoughts and faith in the liberation of Mariupol: "In the heart of Lviv, there is a monumental mural dedicated to Mariupol. It depicts a theater with the poignant inscription 'Children' in front of its entrance, symbolizing the heartless bombings by the Russians, disregarding the lives of innocent people inside. The mural also honors the defenders who fought for the city until the very end. Adjacent to the mural, there is an entrance to a center that provides assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Mariupol. Lviv welcomes everyone. No matter what challenges come our way, we will endure. I hold onto the hope of visiting a liberated Mariupol at the earliest opportunity. It's regrettable that I didn't have the chance to experience it before the war, but I am determined to discover and embrace its spirit once peace is restored." The word on this specific mural is діти (Children). Reuse permission: Professor Anasstasia Fedyk-UC Berkeley- The AI for Good Foundation

- The description on the image reads, "A Ukrainian soldier shared his account of the living conditions for animals in the territories that have been de-occupied: "When you arrive in Dolyna, the first beings to greet you are cats and dogs. In fact, they are the only inhabitants left here, as there are no longer any people. Not a single human soul remains, and every house has been wiped out. Some lie in ruins, reduced to their foundations. Even the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) monastery, with its bell adorned with the Russian coat of arms, is now in ruins. The only building that has managed to withstand the devastation is a small church belonging to the Ukrainian Patriarchate. Though it is covered in debris, it stands intact. The cats and dogs emerge together, peacefully coexisting. They are not at odds with one another. In fact, you may witness a dog affectionately licking a cat or a cat gently caressing a dog. Shell-shocked and disoriented, some of them bear the scars of recent wounds or burns. They approach people not solely for food but also for the basic need of affection. Their sheer joy stems from the absence of gunfire in the area, relishing any opportunity for a kind scratch behind the ear."

- The description on the image reads, "Russian troops are devastating everything in their path, including sacred buildings. Almost 500 churches have been damaged or completely destroyed by the Russians in Ukraine. A soldier who liberated Bohorodychne in the Donetsk region recalled the destruction of the Church of the Holy Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow" by Russian shelling: "There is a pile of spent RPG tubes and broken bricks nearby. Not far away, the dome of the bell tower lies fallen after a Russian airstrike hit the monastery. A Ukrainian flag is already hanging over the church. Initially, the soldiers wanted to hang it over the dome but couldn't reach it. Inside the church, the Russians were living and storing ammunition. When they fled, they set fire to the ammunition, apparently hoping for a massive explosion. However, that did not occur, and the paratroopers obtained a significant arsenal. Additionally, the Russians stole icons from the church itself." More Description: On May 19, 2022, the Church of the Holy Mother of God ‘Joy of All Who Sorrow’ in the village of Bohorodychne, in the Donetsk region, was destroyed by Russian shelling.

- Description:
- The description on the images is as follows, "In the first days of the full-scale invasion, everyone sought refuge from unsettling thoughts. Some organized shelters, others armed themselves, and some ensured the safety of relatives and friends. We, however, found solace and means of distraction in our expertise -working with metal and machines. The first photo on my phone captures a document approved by the city council authorizing the distribution of rolled metal for crafting substantial anti-tank hedgehogs. Production commenced in the early days, but our metal reserves were quickly depleted. Following that, we shifted to casting plastic reusable dishes, as our hometown of Khmelnytskyi became a transit point for internally displaced persons (IDPs). And volunteer centers required dishes to cater to the vast influx of people. The distinct smell of metal remains etched in my memory, vividly reminding me of the initial days of a full-scale invasion."
