War and a little peace: An entrepreneur gives his 12-month account of the war and its effects on his life

• An as-told-to photo diary of life in Ukraine since Russia invaded on February 24, 2022. 
• Ivan Oleksii, an esports analyst from Kherson, explained how the war recast his life. 
• In the last year, he spent long nights spent in bomb shelters, contributed to the war effort, and got engaged. 

Putin's invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022.

In the last 12 months, Ukrainian cities have been reduced to rubble, millions have been displaced and become refugees, and Russia and Ukraine have suffered tens of thousands of casualties in the fighting.

All Ukrainians' lives have been changed in ways they would have struggled to conceive a year ago.
