Ukraine was a vibrant and beautiful place before Putin’s war.
The war in Ukraine is heartbreaking on so many levels… millions fleeing their once-tranquil homeland, and images from before the invasion show the brutality of Russian aggression. Ukraine was a vibrant country before Vladimir Putin brought war to their land, and it’s interesting to look back at life for Ukrainians before they saw their cities bombed to ruins. In a Spring without war, Mariinsky Park would serve as a romantic backdrop for a date… a popular place for people to gather, and even kiss on a park bench.
