The War In Ukraine Begins
Kharkiv, Ukraine. Friday, Feb. 25, 2022. The War In Ukraine Begins. February 2022. On the second day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a Russian soldier lay dead after a firefight on the outskirts of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, his body dusted with newly fallen snow, beside an abandoned armored vehicle. This stark, stunning image undermined Vladimir Putin’s claims and the world’s expectations that Russian forces, thought to be well-armed and organized, would easily dominate.
