We asked Tetyana Ogarkova - a Ukrainian journalist living in Kyiv - to capture an image for us that symbolises Ukraine today, two years after Russia’s invasion on 24 February 2022. She sent us a photo that she took while travelling through the country supporting the Ukrainian troops. Here is the photo that Ms Ogarkova wants to share with our readers, and the story behind it.

Tetyana Ogarkova has a PhD in literature from Paris XII Val-De-Marne University; she is a lecturer at Mohyla University in Kyiv, a journalist and Head of International Outreach at the Ukraine Crisis Media Center. She lives in Kyiv.
