About the Work
"In March and April, Paolo Pellegrin made a 4,000-mile journey through war-torn Ukraine with the writer James Verini for an article about Kharkiv, the city on the country’s eastern flank that has been devastated by Russian shelling. The stops along the way were grim. A shopping mall in a suburb of Kyiv, destroyed. A mother comforting a daughter with a bullet wound in a hospital. Mass graves in the town Bucha.
Pellegrin documented scenes of the chaotic crossing station in Medyka as thousands of families fled. From there, he took a circuitous route through the country’s highways, now threaded with checkpoints, passing through Lviv, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kyiv and Kharkiv. In Kharkiv, the men found a ghost town, where monuments and churches kept watch over empty streets. These searing, heartfelt images of the suffering and resilience of the Ukrainians and the destruction of their country are a vivid documentation of this tragic war"
