A set of diverse moments from the previous 3 days of coverage in Lviv.  A group of young ukrainians continue to weave camouflage nets for the Ukrainian forces, daily life situations in Lviv, a relatively safe city where you can see normal life going on, but there is always a sense of fear of an income attack as it happened a week ago. The funeral of Olexandr Moisenko, age 42 who's wife also serves in the Ukrainian military forces and Segiy Turpetko, age 57, both died in the Luhansk region fighting against the Russian forces and to close one of the containers quarters hosting displaced Ukrainians where I photographed, Natalia, age 34 holding Bogdan, her son with 2 months old.

One month after the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Larysa together with volunteers opened a temporary horse stable, where they house horses evacuated from war hotspots and other cities in the centre and east of Ukraine. Through a national network and international volunteers from Belgium, Sweden, UK and elsewhere, horses who were left behind by the owners and others that the owners requested help to save the animals, Lviv stable operates as a commuting point and after they are relocated around Europe or reunited with their owners who found asylum in elsewhere. Until today, more than 200 horses have passed by the Lviv shelter and 31 inclosures are now occupied out of 40.  On assignment for @anadoluimages  thanks to @_serapaydn   . 7 days more to go .  #poland #reportage #feature #refugee #war #ukraine #conflict #Lviv #city #horses #stable #evacuation # #reportagespotlight #instadaily #documentary #documentaryphotography #exposure #artofvisuals #nikon #reportagephotography #anadolu #nikonz9 #ukrainemoments

Yesterday I have covered my second military funeral services in Lviv.  Ended up being 3 funerals at the same time for Ukrainian fallen soldiers.  As the Russian invasion continues to rage in Ukraine, yesterday the Church of the Most Holy Apostles Peter and Paul held services for three fallen soldiers at the same time. Alexander Malevsky, 30 years old died in early May in the Lyman region, Yury Varyanytsya, 54 years old who voluntarily joined the Ukrainian Territorial Defense died in late April under Russian artillery shelling in the Luhansk region and Yuri Samofalox, age 50 died while combating in the Eastern town of Zolotye.

Has been 69 days since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In the past, I was covering the refugee exodus that stormed the Polish border due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but 3 days ago, I moved to Lviv to cover the other side of the border.  Yesterday, after covering a military funeral, I also went to photograph a class to identify explosives for displaced Ukrainians in Lviv.   During the session, experts presented examples of explosives, mines, bullets and rockets among other items to create awareness on how to proceed in case of finding such items.

In the past, I was covering the refugee exodus that stormed the Polish border due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but 3 days ago, I moved to Lviv to cover the other side of the border.  Today I have covered my first military funeral in Lviv. Some fellow colleagues tell me it won't be the last of my stay.  Igor, born in 1963 served as a Deputy Company Commander in the 103rd Separated Brigade of the Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He took part in the fighting in Sloviansk and Izyum against the Russian Forces. He died at the Dnipro Military Hospital as a result of serious injuries and he left 2 Children and 2 grandchildren.

Has been 68 days since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In the past, I was covering the refugee exodus that stormed the Polish border due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but yesterday, I moved to Lviv to cover the other side of the border.  After the first day of photographing the relocation of civilians from the East and South of Ukraine, including from Mariupol that arrived on a train from Zaporizhzhia, to take shelter in a bunker, a dinner was taking place with two colleagues photojournalists. While enjoying, the electricity went off and soon we got to know about the rocket attack in Lviv. Here it is a report with some photos from yesterday night and today's aftermath coverage of the places where the Russian missiles landed.   According to official press releases and local media reports, Russian cruise missiles were launched from the Caspian Sea, two out of five were shot down by air defence forces but electric substations in Lviv oblast, and one hit an electric substation in Transcarpathia were hit.  As a result of the attack, two people were injured in the Lviv area.  On assignment for @anadoluimages  thanks to @_serapaydn  . 13 days more to go .  A big thanks to  @leonnealphoto for the valuable tips and support during this breaking news.

People who fled the war in Ukraine and members of the Ukrainian diaspora watch the Easter Sunday mass from a screen outside the Orthodox church of the Assumption on April 24, 2022 in Krakow, Poland. As Krakow is now hosting more than 200,000 displaced Ukrainians, the local Orthodox Church is now struggling to host as many devotees as it can. In partnership with Krakow authorities, screens were installed outside and in the church entrance due to the high number of devotees. After the holy mass, a procession, blessing of food baskets and the Agape feast were given away to every attendant.

Has been 48 days since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.  Being constantly tired is now part of daily life and somehow feels pretty normal. The constant research, shoot features and constant communication with Getty news editor @maralxdeghati are the new normal as we work on getting accurate coverage of what is known to be the biggest refugee exodus since WW2. More than 2.5 million refugees are now living in Poland after the Russian invasion of Ukraine since February 24, 2022. This is a series of last weekend's protests by the displaced Ukrainians and diaspora living in Krakow.   On assignment for @gettyimages and I can t stop highlighting the massive support from my editors @maralxdeghati  and @jayrdavies #poland #reportage #feature #refugee #war #ukraine #conflict #krakow #city #protest #banners #performance #remembrance  #Poland  #reportagespotlight #instadaily #documentary #documentaryphotography #exposure #artofvisuals #nikon #reportagephotography #gettyimagesnews #nikonz9 #ukrainemoments #nikonpl

More than 2.5 million refugees are now living in Poland after the Russian invasion of Ukraine since February 24, 2022. This post is about hope. Among all the drastic images we see coming from Ukraine and refugees arriving in Ukraine's neighbouring countries, we also can find beauty and hope. The Green Hotel owned by Justyna, 70 years-old, has suspended operations due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. Located 25 km from Poland's second-biggest city, Krakow, the influx of 150,000 Ukrainians fleeing war, means an increase of the city's population by 20% in just a few weeks. Justyna, with the help of her daughter, Karolina, granddaughter Wiktoria, and four new local hires, are now housing 44 displaced Ukrainians of which 22 are children and three are pregnant women. Through her local network, Justyna secured medical appointments, taxpayer identification numbers and bank accounts for all the guests. Ukrainian women began preparing their national dishes such as dumplings and sweets and through the Green Hotel social media pages every day dozens of food dishes are sold for the local community and the income is distributed amongst the women and for hotel expenditures.

Children from different cities including Mariupol who fled the war in Ukraine take part in a bracelet making workshop conducted by Valentyna, Olena and Olga who also left Ukraine due to the Russian invasion at the Galicia Jewish Museum on April 01, 2022 in Krakow, Poland. More than four million people have fled Ukraine since the Russian invasion of that country on February 24. Millions more have been internally displaced. Has been 40 days since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I have been covering how the Ukrainian refugees' integration in my home city is going. One topic that usually is difficult to access, is children. I have been lucky enough to cooperate with museums and youth centres in order to photograph the Ukrainian young generation integration.  Has been a contrast in scenes compared to the border area. Krakow has now more than 150 000 refugees and tries to quickly integrate and offer a taste of normal life to the newcomers.  On assignment for @gettyimages and I can t stop highlighting the massive support from my editors @maralxdeghati and @jayrdavies . #poland #reportage #feature #refugee #war #ukraine #conflict #krakow #city #religion #integration #shelter #refugeecenter  #Poland  #reportagespotlight #instadaily #documentary #documentaryphotography #exposure #artofvisuals #nikon #reportagephotography #gettyimagesnews #nikonz9 #ukrainemoments
