LOVERS WITHOUT BORDERS

Once upon a time there were two lovers living in Ukraine. One hailed from Russia while the other was Ukrainian. Their love story began during peaceful times but soon they found themselves amidst a brutal conflict between their countries. The Ukraine Russia conflict began in 2014 when Ukraine’s president was overthrown in a revolution. Russia then annexed Crimea, which belonged to Ukraine claiming it as their own. This led to the Ukrainian military taking action against pro-Russian separatists in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.
