The Russian-Ukrainian war has led to catastrophic consequences as it marks its third year. According to the UN, over 12,300 confirmed civilians were killed since 2023, and over 1.5 million homes in Ukraine were either damaged or destroyed. While the outgunned and outnumbered Ukrainian army holds the frontline against advancing Russia's forces, the Ukrainian nation buries loved ones and braces for further confrontation. However, from the factories continuing their work, to the fierce football games at the destroyed school's stadiums, life continues despite the war's cruel nature.

Serhii Korovayny is a Ukrainian photojournalist currently covering the Russian-Ukrainian war. In his projects, Serhii focuses on conflict, environmental issues, refugees, healthcare, etc.

Serhii is a frequent contributor to the Wall Street Journal and has also worked with Time, the Washington Post, Spiegel, The Guardian, and the Financial Times.

As a Fulbright, Serhii scholar received his MA in Photography at Syracuse University, NY, USA.


Serhii's works were showcased at multiple personal and group exhibitions in Ukraine.
