The field of flags on the lawn at Maidan Square in Kyiv grows daily, each flag representing a life lost in war
Residents of Kyiv are also flocking to see a kilometre-long display of captured Russian hardware on Khreshchatyk Street, the main boulevard which runs through Maidan Square and terminates on the bank of the Dnipro river.
Defying Russia carries a high price. The field of flags on the lawn at Maidan grows daily, each flag representing a life lost in war. It is a sea of Ukrainian blue and yellow. “Dear Tato [daddy]” is written in a childish scrawl to Serhiy Nezachynskyi, an airborne soldier who died in Donetsk. The child’s mother finished the inscription with the words “on duty forever”, which close many of the messages.
