The reason for the titles of the lead art in daily blogs

Q&A

On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War, which started in 2014. The invasion, the largest and deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II, has caused hundreds of thousands of military casualties and tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilian casualties. On the 28th I started dedicating the lead art to the Ukrainians which seemed to me, an unfair war, this, to me was bullying I try not to have any political or religious vents in the blog itself, but the art is my own. 

Here are some facts on Ukraine that I didn't know, feel free to skip if TMI.





   


Personally, I would love to stop my war art, 
but I think of Ukranians and they have no choice.
