Mariupol was besieged by Russian and pro-Russian proxy forces and largely destroyed in 2022, for which it received the title of Hero City of Ukraine. On 16 May 2022, the last remaining Ukrainian troops in Azovstal Steel Plant surrendered as Russia secured complete control over the city. Prior to the invasion and its capture by Russia, Mariupol was the tenth-largest city in Ukraine and the second-largest in Donetsk Oblast, with an estimated population of 431,859, according to a 2021 census. Following its capture, the population is now, according to Ukrainian authorities, estimated to be less than 100,000. President of Mariupol Television, volunteer and civil activist Mykola Osychenko said to Dnipro TV that, according to the insider information, 87,000 deaths have been currently documented in morgues in Mariupol, but these numbers are far from final.

"I wanted to draw something that felt immediately Ukrainian. Kobzars were itinerant Ukrainian bards who sang to their own accompaniment, and played on a multistringed bandura or kobza. The Kobzars travelled between towns and sang dumas, a form of meditative poem-songs, spreading information, historical events, morality and principles of freedom. The majority of them were eliminated in the 30s along with many other elements of Ukrainian culture. In 1932, on the order of Stalin, the Soviet authorities called on all Ukrainian Kobzars to attend a congress in Kharkiv. Those that arrived were taken outside the city and executed. These events along with Ukrainian heritage and history must be preserved, in art, music and literature. The #Kobzar in my illustration is #OstapKindrachuk. To be honest I didn't know him before I found his recordings on google, but I always had memories of the kobzar I saw in the streets of various cities." - Julia Zinchenko, May 2022

Ukraine needs more long-range weapons ASAP to protect our country. Also, these missiles hit the fields which are now wounded and it is impossible to sow anything there. We need to get the Russian army out of Ukraine before it renders all the regions of our land uninhabitable. Arm Ukraine Now!
