At least 15 apartments are on fire in Kharkiv, and at least one person has died. In different locations, people may be under the rubble after a Russian strike. This is pure terrorism. Hello, world???

During the Russian invasion, Yurii reinvented himself as a streetwear designer. With his brother and friends, he built a fashion brand with a patriotic twist, using the proceeds to support his community.

Filming in a conflict zone comes with many challenges… some expected, and some not so much. All we can say is, it’s a good thing military trainers have a lot of patience.
