Příběhy z Ukrajiny

Příběhy z Ukrajiny, Stories from Ukraine, is an exhibition showing the experiences of Ukrainians feeling the country due to the Russian invasion.

Near the Moravian Gallery, there are civilian cars that were hit by Russian missiles in Ukraine.  

The exhibition brings a bit of the war to the centre of Brno.  

Я за Україну. Я за Україною. Слава Україні  Stojím za Ukrajinou!  I stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦
