About the Work
The image depicts a note that was written by my nephew Sofia, 9 years old.
Fortunately, my family members already fled Charkiv 2 days ago before the city was hit by bombs and shells and faced military street fights.
It's unbelievable that things like this are happening in the middle of Europe.
Western politics is partly responsible for this by denying Ukraine access to NATO and thus degrading it as a buffer state between itself and Russia.
