“But the worst thing is to see something that you couldn’t even imagine. These are shots of my destroyed and burned hometown taken by a drone from a height. The town that was everything to me. The East is my heart, my life, my place of strength, my home”, – Yulia Kanzeba, a volunteer from the Luhansk region.
The volunteer says that when she looks at the photo of Popasna devastated by the occupiers, comparisons of “before” and “after” pop up, and fragments of memories come to mind. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, Yulia was 15.
