Reference
"Icons on ammunition boxes" is an art project by Kyiv artists Sofia Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko. Its main idea is to transform death, symbolized by a box from under weapons, into life, which is symbolized by an icon.
The project was presented back in 2015 on the territory of St. Sophia of Kyiv. Since then, icons painted on ammunition boxes from the combat zone have been exhibited in 40 cities around the world at more than 60 locations, including Washington, Berlin, Warsaw, Vienna and Sicily.
Let us remind
The head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, stated that next week discussions on the details of the ceasefire will begin. The politician also noted that the US should further discuss with the Russian side the proposals worked out during the meeting in Jeddah.
