Grief-stricken with loss of life, property, and familial bonds, Ukrainians have experienced the worst of Russia’s fury. Amid invasion, several images and videos have surfaced on the internet, showcasing the plight of citizens of Ukraine. Over a million citizens have fled the country, escaping to neighbouring countries like Poland, Romania, Hungary, Moldova, Belarus, and Slovakia.

With a picture being worth a thousand words, images of Ukrainians bidding adieu to their loved ones at train stations have been enough to articulate human expressions of love and loss. Despite the grief, moments of goodbyes highlight a glimmer of hope to reunite.
