The war effort is everywhere in Lviv. The city, the largest in western Ukraine, has swelled with about 200,000 people who were displaced from elsewhere in the country since Russia invaded in late February. Some of its schools and theaters were transformed into shelters to hold the new residents. Street musicians on the narrow streets sing Ukrainian and foreign songs like they always have, but now with signs that read that half the money will go to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The street music and birdsong are routinely overlapped with air raids. The residents of Lviv, along with displaced Ukrainians, are united. Many Ukrainians feel it as a continuation of the long history of fighting for independence. Read the full story and see more photos at our link in bio. // 📷: @seth_herald
