By now, the world knows very well that Russia invaded Ukraine in a horrific
attack on democracy, freedom, humanity and even common sense. Russian president
Vladimir Putin instantly became the world’s number one villain, so the whole
planet has united in condemning his cruel, irresponsible and, most people say,
cowardly actions.





The invasion has left many of us speechless, however, testimony of the fiercest
invasion in the past 75 years in Europe comes from the community through all the
channels that are still available.

What do we know so far?

Russia bombed many sites in the main Ukrainan cities, targeting strategic
objectives, but also a lot of civilian buildings, intentional or not.





Hundreds of thousands of war refugees are pouring in from Ukraine into the
neighboring countries, for many of them it’s a difficult trip to take,
especially with children.



Many Ukrainian civilians have joined the military forces and are trying to fight
against the invasion.



It seems that there aren’t enough guns for all of them, so the population is
fighting with anything they have. Many have learned to prepare Molotov
Cocktails:



Through all this madness, an unlikely hero has emerged: Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelensky, a former actor and comedian, who was elected in 2019 with
over 70% of the votes, and is now leading his people while resisting the huge
Russian army sent to occupy their country.



He received standing ovations after his speech in the European Parliament, has
signed the European Union application for Ukraine (which has been approved) and
is regularly communicating with Ukrainians and the whole world through his
social media accounts.



Meanwhile, anti Putin and anti war protests are being organized across the
world, from France to Thailand, from Colombia to the United Kingdom, from Turkey
to Canada. Even Moscow has seen many Russians protesting against the war,
although Putin has arrested thousands of protesters so far.



Russian oligarchs, Putin and state-owned businesses are being targeted by
international sanctions, the banks have been excluded from the international
SWIFT system, the sport world has excluded Russia from most international
competitions and the European countries have closed their air space for Russian
travel.



The sanctions will, most likely, hit the Russian population as well, as Russia
is getting more and more isolated from the world. Needless to say, Putin is
fighting not only against Ukraine, but also against his own people, who didn’t
call for this invasion and don’t want to see their young men sent to die in a
war they don’t want and don’t understand.

The US President Joe Biden has condemned, along with most of the world’s
leaders, the invasion of Ukraine and stated that the Russian leader " will pay a
continuing high price over the long run".



The Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has been ruling the country since
2000, has yet to show any signs of wanting to stop the aggression so far,
although some negotiations between the two countries' delegations have been
organized in Belarus.



What we can do to help?

Getting back to Ukraine, the risk of a humanitarian crisis is increasing, as
food shortages are seen across the country, many families have been ripped apart
due to the war in progress and military and civilian casualties are being
counted in the thousands.



If you want to help, try to donate to the legitimate humanitarian organizations
and relief funds, help Ukrainian refugees directly or, at least, fight the
misinformation war online. Dreamstime is also doing its part to help.

If you have related pictures, you can upload them to the editorial section. The
mobile app might be the fastest and easiest way to submit them. However, never
risk your own safety or harm someone's dignity for a picture!

As the crisis continues, try to stay informed from legitimate sources and keep
away from fake news and trolls.

Humanity will prevail!

Never in my life had I thought I would become a photographer...
It all started as a small business, in a small town, for small money. I bought
my first (small) camera to shoot graduation portraits in high schools.

But then, having a digital camera, I took it anywhere with me, and shot
everything I saw. This is how the passion grew on me.

Photography soon became my passion, my job, my life.

The passion got bigger, the camera got bigger, and the money also (because I
never forgot about the business factor). Finding my passion and making money
from it led to a beautiful life.

I guess this is why we are all here at Dreamstime. We all want to live off our
passion. And it’s great when we succeed.

Thank you, Viorel, for assembling these photographs of this terrible war. And
for your devotion to photography as as expression of your passion.

I commend you for your post and Dreamstime for its support of Ukranians as they
endure a barbaric invasion by Russian military forces.  Current events
demonstrate the danger of autocracies.  People in every corner of the world who
are against oppression and believe in democratic ideals and peaceful living must
do their part, no matter how big or small an action, to support Ukranians
against the aggression of a murderous despot.  To do nothing or stay silent
would be to give tacit approval to the murderous and barbaric aggression being
carried out against the Ukrainian people.

I will try to translate Annalugova's first message:"I am a vector designer and
mother of a boy from Kiev - now I can not do much for my country as a designer
with new vectors, no computers in the bomb shelter.... But I don't understand
what is the photo with hearts! I'm supposed to love this Russian dropping bombs
on my country!!!? Really????!?!?"The second text questions the strange content
and text of this image:
https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-image-russia-stops-scenario-euro-union-ukraine-crisis-geopolitic-war-vector-eps-image39298271.She
is not the only one who does not understand the illustration. I have my problems
with it, too. The European Union is certainly not reaching for Ukraine, the
illustrator must have gotten confused.

Where does one man and his blindly devoted entourage get the right to bring so
much suffering to innocent people?

Я векторный дизайнер, и мама мальчика из Киева - сейчас я мало чем могу помочь
своей стране как дизайнер с новым векторным наполнением, в бомбоубежище нет
компьютеров.... Но я не могу понять - что это за фото с сердечками?! Я должен
любить того русского, который сбрасывает бомбы на мою страну?!?
Действительно????!?!?
