"My birthday is on March 6, right before International Women’s Day [March 8]. On March 4, my best friend, Anton, said he couldn’t stand aside and decided to go back to Ukraine to do volunteer work and help people. (We were in Krakow, Poland, then.) So he left right away. I was very upset, as you can imagine, because I didn’t want him to leave. I was afraid he may get injured or killed by Russians. But at the same time, of course, I couldn’t make him stay and I’m proud of him for being so brave and selfless. So this idea came to me [to illustrate a] bouquet of bombs instead of flowers that the Russian army is presenting to women. Instead of getting flowers on my birthday and on March 8, this year I got a massacre on the news. Every woman in Ukraine got deaths and a lot of fear for their loved ones and themselves instead of presents and flowers. Oh, what a present from Putin to all of us." - Ruslana Artemenko, March 2022

"The people in our occupied city organized a rally with Ukrainian flags to show the whole world that "Kherson is Ukraine"!
