The invasion of Ukraine resulted in a complete rearrangement of East-West relations and a major blow to global stability. A series of key events over the past decade have gradually led to the current situation. Our long-term project in Ukraine, which began by documenting the Maidan revolution, then the Donbass conflict, and finally the full-scale war, focuses mainly on the stories of people related to and sometimes symbolic of the unfolding events. The work traces in a series of different chapters the country's historical process of profound transformation, fears and hopes for the future.
