Everyday life in Ukraine - Life in war - Yelizaveta Landenberger and Mitya Churikov

24.10. - 19h at SÖZ Dortmund

An event organized by the Initiative for Social Criticism as part of the photo exhibition "Youth of Ukraine" by Fabian Ritter.

he war has been raging in Ukraine for three and a half years - and not just on the front in the east and south of the country. It is shaping everyday life throughout the country. In our journalistic work, we look at how the war has changed people's lives since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression. In our presentation, we give an overview of the situation of children and young people and talk about war crimes committed by the Russian army against the civilian population, the consequences of which will continue to shape generations to come.
