  1. The battle for Bakhmut was one of the most brutal chapters of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine — and the place where some of its most intimate moments were born.

    Ukrainian writer [Myroslav Laiuk](https://www.instagram.com/myroslavlaiuk/?hl=en) and photojournalist [Danylo Pavlov](https://www.instagram.com/danylo.pavlov/?hl=en) spent the winter and spring of 2022–2023 documenting life on the frontlines around Bakhmut — the site of one of the fiercest battles of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The result is *Bakhmut*, an award-winning collection of essays and photographs that captures the human face of war.

    In this post, we tell the story behind one of its most intimate images of the book.

  2. Cool story, but I would not want to be within 2 miles of my wife if she were armed…….good for them!

  4. “A reason to live”
    That, I think, is one of the most overlooked aspects of true love in this world. I pray that they will be able to retire in a peaceful country together and that peaceful country would be Ukraine.

  8. THIS is the people that Ukraine needs now for freedom, and later to rebuild. This is what a power couple is.

  9. I wish for them many peaceful years together in beautiful, free Ukraine 💙💛🇺🇦
