What Did Ukrainian Cities Look Like before the War? Remembering Our Favorites

Як виглядали українські міста до війни? Згадуємо наші улюблені

On February 24, Russia launched a full-scale offensive against Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin called it “a special operation of denazification and demilitarization,” but in fact started a war and genocide against the Ukrainian people. In the first two weeks, the Russian army destroyed apartment buildings, hospitals, schools, airports, and military objects in cities and towns in Ukraine. Some cities now look like Grozny bombed by the Russian army during the first Chechen war.

Zaborona selected pictures from Ukrainian cities as they were before the aggressor’s full-scale offensive. You can see all the diversity and beauty of the country. When the war is over, we will rebuild everything we loved so much.
