They Were Not Soldiers

This curated project shares photographs and personal perspectives from the Ukrainian front lines, focusing on the lived experiences of those often reduced to a single label. Through their own images, it explores how fathers, daughters, and ordinary people cope, survive, and hold onto humanity in extraordinary circumstances.

“Today we headed out to the frontline position to rotate our guys, and on the way back we picked up a civilian who had been wounded by the so-called “Ruzzian world” shelling. We got him to the hospital in time. He’s going to make it. 💪🇺🇦🤙🔥🫡⚔️🫂❤️”
