War in Ukraine: Guide Through Posts on this Blog.

War in Ukraine.
There are many posts connected to this subject on my blog these days and this is a hub to organize different subjects connected to the war and provide a way to navigate through them.


Background:
Kharkiv, Ukraine is a city where my parents grew up and lived their whole life. We are a multinational family and we spoke and continue speaking russian language within my family, which is why most of the notes surrounding portraits are in russian. I try to put a summary of each conversation in English when I post it here.

Portraits:
I used to draw my parents during our video conversations but when the war began on February 24, 2022, we switched to daily video calls and I started drawing them during every call and then sharing with the community online these portraits and notes on their day-to-day activities. These portraits are my War Reports in the Form of Portraits. We talk about Kharkiv, Ukraine, family, language, news, everything, and anything. These are real humans whose life was uprooted and I hope to give people a chance to see it in this form. Our conversations continued during their evacuation out of Kharkiv and  7 months later, out of Ukraine, as my parents are now refugees in Europe.
