Ukraine will bloom again. I took these photos in Kyiv as the war raged on. We all hope this conflict ends as soon as possible but before it does, all Russian forces need to leave and never come back. This includes all of the Donbas region and Crimea which is rightfully Ukrainian land. I’m hoping to be able to come back to Ukraine soon and continue doing volunteer work. We’ll see! #ukrainewillwin

Just moments ago. I was in my apartment when I heard a loud explosion. I could tell right away it was a bomb blast. Then there were three more in rapid succession. I tried to eliminate the possibilities...was it construction work? Perhaps thunder? No, I knew these were cruise missiles raining down. The apartment I’m staying in is near the train station. My friend, who is staying next door, confirmed it. He saw black smoke rising from the direction of the train station. My friend has experience in these matters and knew that the strike was over so we went to investigate. As we crossed the road we were wondering, was the main terminal hit? No, we could see that the main terminal was ok, seemed like the blasts were somewhere behind there. Mind you I just passed through this station just yesterday. But as we got closer my heart sank. I saw black smoke coming from downtown, around the center of town. I was just there this morning and yesterday. So many people walking around enjoying the nice weather. I was devastated by what I saw. Russia will regret this and all the damage they’ve done and the innocent people they’ve killed. Russia has no place in this world. #ruscism #russiansarekillers #prayforukraine #justiceforukraine

The shadows of war.
1. Residents report that when the Russians occupied the city, they killed the neighbor who used this walker. I found the walker discarded in the parking lot
2. Burned building in Irpin
3. What appears to be a tank round through the corners of the building
4. Destroyed building in the center of town
5. It seemed that every building was damaged in some way
6. More destruction
7. Two apartments completely blown out
8. From a distance some buildings may not look damaged but on closer inspection it becomes apparent
9. A devastated modern city
10. What appears to be a tank round through an apartment

In the wake of Russian destruction, volunteers are stepping up.
1. A warehouse of humanitarian aid in Kyiv. Food, medicine, clothes, and more are brought here to be taken to villages and cities destroyed by the occupiers
2. American and Ukrainian volunteers sorting and creating packages for delivery later that day
3. Hundreds of these packages will be taken to the war damaged areas by a fleet of civilian vans and cars virtually every day
4. Van arriving in a village where fighting took place and packages being delivered to the villagers
5. When this grandma saw us approaching with food packages, she began to weep.
6. Ukrainian military men delivering the packages. Since the areas are still potentially dangerous with mines, ordinance, and explosives, the soldiers are the ones entering these zones and taking the risks
7. Ukrainian serviceman delivering aid to a villager. Her wall was destroyed and her gate and house damaged. There was a lot of fighting right on this road
8. Grandma hugs a Ukrainian serviceman for bringing food
9. A villager recounts the fighting that took place outside his home. Shrapnel damage still visible on his garage and car from an explosion on the street
10. A traumatized grandma weeps as she tells us of what happened in her village. There is mounting evidence of Russian war crimes

Scenes from Ukraine
1. Burned and destroyed cars from the Russian occupation
2. Shot windows of a residence complex where my friends lived
3. The husk of a completely destroyed Russian vehicle
4. Ration boxes of the Russian army. The Russians were here for a temporary time before they were destroyed and then retreated to Belarus and Russia
5. I’m holding a spent casing of a large caliber gun
6. Burned and destroyed building in Irpin. Virtually every building in this city, just 10 miles or less from Kyiv, was ruined or damaged

Alex Dzhunkiyskiy was an accomplished Ukrainian trainer and coach in this gym when the Russians invaded. The neighbors report that as the Russian forces approached, Alex was able to destroy an enemy vehicle only 150 meters from the apartment complex. Later, the Russians surrounded and killed him in his gym. After the Russians retreated from this area, his mom came to see the gym where Alex was killed and where he was buried, just outside the gym on the side of the road near where he destroyed the enemy vehicle. Before the Russians left, they robbed all the apartments, shot the windows, and then tried to burn the whole place down.

Russians shot to pieces people trying to flee. This is a parking lot where destroyed cars were brought from the road. By the number of bullets and even large caliber rounds of heavy guns it’s clear they intentionally killed Ukrainian families and kids in cold blood. Some people wonder, are these invaders even human? What monsters are these? I wish I could say this was the only case. Notice the hood, notice the doors, notice the seats with rounds through them. #prayforukraine #warcrimes #standwithukraine #irpin #war #tanks #machinegunfire #casualties #russiancrimes
