Borderland \u2013 Ukraine 2022 is a series of images taken by awardwinning\u00a0documentary photographer, Karen Cox. On February 24th 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, initiating a war in which thousands have
\nlost their lives and millions have fled abroad or are internally displaced.<\/p>\n
It is reported that almost 8 million Ukrainians have left the country as refugees.<\/p>\n
As the war continues across Ukraine, families are being torn apart. These photographs offer an insight into the reality of displaced people crossing from Ukraine into Poland in the hope of finding safety. These images, from both sides of the border, were taken in April 2022 at the
\nborder crossing in Medyka – Shehyni.<\/p>\n
