No targets of military value were located in the city\u0027s beautiful historic centre, a UNESCO world heritage site

Most of you who are reading these words have never been to this city — it is just a name and a dot on a map. Yet this place was my home for most of the past year. Please, listen to me when I explain the injustice of these recent attacks.Media coverage of Russia’s invasion predominantly focuses on the front lines, inevitably spotlighting smaller towns and countrysides that have been destroyed beyond repair.

It was immediately apparent that popular stereotypes of the country’s backwardness were inaccurate and patronizing. Many Ukrainian cities are architectural gems that brim with culture and history, and, similarly, Ukrainian society is vibrant and cosmopolitan, even in war. It is not hard to be a Ukrainophile — and, indeed, many of the volunteers and reporters who come to this country speak longingly of returning once they leave.
