On 16 April 2022 in Ukraine, Danylo, 12, holds his cat, Lyzunia, as he stands in the ruins of his family’s home in Novoselivka, on the outskirts of Chernihiv. The village – and specifically Danylo's street – was a site of fierce fighting for over a month, and today the area is almost completely razed. “Before the war, I didn’t know any of the sounds of fighting,” says Danylo. “Now I can hear the difference between missiles and shelling, or outgoing and incoming.”
Danylo remained at home during the siege with his mother, Liudmyla, and grandmother, Nina. Liudmyla was hit by shrapnel and severely injured. She remains in the hospital where surgeons initially fought to save her life and continue to fight to save her foot, which may need to be amputated. Their cat, Lyzunia (Ukranian for ‘the one that licks’), was hit by shrapnel in her shoulder and had her whiskers burnt off.
“We come here every day,” Danylo says. “We clean Lyzunia’s wounds, and search the rubble for things we can salvage. I had a coin collection I wanted to keep, but it must have melted in the fire.” He continues, “I have so many good memories here. My favorite room was my mother’s bedroom.” Crying now, he says, “It was always warm there, and it was good to be with Mum. She used to rub my back and we loved hanging out watching comedies on TV.” Danylo hopes to raise money for his mother’s medical treatment.
Parked up at the German/Dutch border at Bad Bentheim, was this truck from Ukraine. This trailer gave me another new Ukrainian code for me to spot, 'CB', coming from Chernihiv Oblast, situated in the north of Ukraine, bordering with Belarus to the north-west, and Russia to the north and north-east. Unfortunately, I didn't get the best shot of this truck here, as the red Polish truck was parked in an awkward position (of course, trucks cannot travel into Germany on a Sunday, so they have to park wherever they can).

it is not you who are to blame.
No one ever helped you to escape.
You, like a termite, built your peace by blocking up with cement
every chink and cranny through which the light might pierce.
You rolled yourself up into a ball in your genteel security, in routine,
in the stifling conventions of provincial life,
raising a modest rampart against the winds and the tides and the stars.

This bridge was the last one to be destroyed. City used bridges to get food and evacuate people. After that Chernihiv turned into a sieged island.
People were leaving locks as a memory of moments of love when it was peace. And people stand against the enemy as steel..
