Our Heroes

Ukrainian men and women are indomitable heroes, risking their lives to defend their homeland for the sake of peace and freedom. We wanted to show their dedication, values and dreams that inspire them in the most difficult moments.

In the early days of the war, Serhiy and Yaroslav joined the Territorial Defense Forces — a father and a son serving together in the same unit. They were always side by side.
