Russia-Ukraine

"Our commitment to our values means that we can no longer keep the Arches shining there."

From challenges to duels to poorly-timed commercials, we almost can't believe these moments actually happened this year.

"We can resist and we can fight back."

"I'm happy that we are alive, that this day started, that my husband is alive, and he is with me."

From sunflower seeds to cat cafes and acts of sacrifice, these moments of courage and determination from the people of Ukraine are unforgettable.
