An open-air photo exhibition has opened in Odesa, where photos of Ukrainian authors about Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine have been collected. On the day of the funeral, a 10-year-old boy visited the grave of his father, who died defending Irpin from Russian troops. The wreckage of Russian vehicles left near Kyiv is becoming a roadside attraction for many people passing by.
