The exhibition will be displayed in the Latvian Parliament.

Since the beginning of the full-scale russian aggression, 32 media people have died: correspondents, camerapeople, and photographers. One is Maks Levin, who the Russian occupiers killed near Kyiv.

Maks has covered the events on the Maidan and Russia's aggression against Ukraine since 2014. His photos reflect the heroism and steadfastness of Ukrainian defenders.

Since February 24, Maks Levin has documented the destruction and horrors of the war that the russian occupiers brought to Ukrainian soil. His photos from Kharkiv, Bucha, Borodyanka, and Irpin are displayed in the Latvian Parliament.

“I am convinced that such photo exhibitions should be in every parliament of the EU. They help to tell the truth about the events in Ukraine. They talk about the high price our people pay for defending European values ??and the peaceful skies of Europe.” emphasized the Vice-Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament.

"We talked with Inara Murniece about understanding the need to build common security, humanitarian and economic agenda for Ukraine, the Three Seas, and the EU. About the new opportunities for inter-parliamentary cooperation that are opening up before us. In particular, my idea of ??creating a Parliamentary Assembly of the Three Seas Initiative.

We have a shared vision of the future of the new architecture of united Europe with the Speaker of the Saeima of Latvia! And we appreciate the help that our friends, especially Latvia, provide us with.” said Olena Kondratiuk.
