During the last few months, we have been observing Russia’s escalation in Ukraine, and on the 24th of February, the massive Russian invasion of Ukraine began. Ukrainian and foreign illustrators show their support and condolences via illustrations on Instagram. This is also a great way to spread awareness about Russia’s aggression.

Chytomo picked some illustrations that have been posted on Instagram since December and especially during the 24th of February — the day when the war started.
