In its first magazine, designed and printed in Ukraine, the Kyiv Independent offers a snapshot of Ukraine three years into Russia’s full-scale war. From the battlefields of Donbas to the streets of Kyiv, these stories capture the many dimensions of living through war. 

Within these pages, experience coming-of-age during an invasion, celebrate the resilience of Ukrainian businesses, discover inspiring artists and activists, and meet those taking the journey from the front by train.

This magazine stands as a tribute to the unwavering Ukrainian spirit, a beacon of hope in the darkest of times.
