Decoding Ukraine is dedicated to sharing the stories of Ukrainians from frontline regions who continue to live and fight, but often go unnoticed. These people, from diverse backgrounds, all share a common bond—their unwavering strength and resilience in the face of wartime challenges. Through a combination of personal interviews, on-site fieldwork, written narratives, and compelling video content, this project seeks to illuminate their extraordinary journeys. As international media focus shifts, it becomes even more important to tell the world the stories of Ukrainian resistance and resilience that remain hidden from the headlines. The project's goal is to raise awareness of the ongoing war in Ukraine and to inspire people around the world to stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
