Throughout my coverage in Ukraine from April to June 2022, I met many Ukrainian people who have survived the destruction and occupation of the Russian army. Needless to say, they are struggling in the war-torn situation. However, they are living their own lives and fighting for their home country in any way they can. I realized they are not living under the war, living "on" the war. I tried to show the strength and patience of the Ukrainian people through this series of images.
