There's red
on my flag​
The War in Ukraine has been a topic of much discussion in the United Kingdom. Protests have been held in London to support the Ukrainian people and to put pressure on the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, to end the conflict. The UK has also been a major supporter of refugees from the conflict, providing aid and assistance. The war has caused a great deal of suffering and the UK is committed to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The United Kingdom has been a strong supporter of Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression and will continue to stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people.


Ukrainian women in the UK recently held a protest across London. The protestors held up flags, placards, and banners with slogans such as "Slava Ukraine!" to demonstrate their solidarity against the Russian war. The atmosphere was supportive as a small group of Russian sympathisers had also gathered outside the Russian Embassy to support the protest against Putin and his invasion of Ukraine. The photographer captured the raw emotion of the protest, capturing the passion of the Ukrainian women as they waved their flags and shouted their slogans. The protest was a powerful symbol of the Ukrainian people's determination to stand up for their rights.


As a photographer, capturing the essence of the protests against Russia's invasion of Ukraine is an important part of my work. Quotes from protesters provide powerful insight into the feelings of those in Ukraine. Some of the most powerful quotes include: "We will never accept this occupation," "The people of Ukraine will never give up," and "We are fighting for a free Ukraine." These quotes are a testament to the strength and courage of the Ukrainian people in their fight for freedom and sovereignty.

It was a deeply moving experience to see the faces of the women hugging each other in a moment of great sadness was a powerful reminder of the human cost of war. I was privileged to document the emotion and compassion of those present, as well as the sense of solidarity and hope for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
