50 Beautiful Pics Of Ukraine That Are Heartbreaking To See Right Now
Ukraine, a democracy of 44 million people, continues to experience a devastating attack. As the world uneasily watches the 8th day of the Russian invasion, people and nations are uniting like never before, sending support and condemning this unjustified war.
Sitting in the heart of Europe, Ukraine celebrated its 30 years of independence last year. While it may seem like a young state, it has a thousand-year history. Throughout this period, it has formed a powerful and resilient nation. Citizens there developed a strong sense of national identity, showing devotion and love to its culture, traditions, architecture, communities, and beyond.
Today, brave defenders are fighting for the future of this country, and we want to showcase all of Ukraine’s unique beauty. That’s why Bored Panda scoured the internet and collected some of the most gorgeous and breathtaking pictures that capture what an incredible land it really is. Continue scrolling, upvote the ones you liked most, and share your thoughts in the comments!

The Love Tunnel, Ukraine
Persephone 3 years ago (edited)
No thanks on the "black train", I'll take this 1 instead when I die, please and thank you! (For anyone wondering: I worked in nursing, and had numerous terminally ill patients talk about seeing a dark/black train coming before death)... super sad, but I'd much rather have this; I wish it looked like this for everyone instead!

It's like when Notre Dame burned a few years ago. We were glad nobody was seriously hurt, but at the same time the building was a historical icon in its own right. And it's okay to mourn the loss of something that we know we won't be able to recreate.

Church Of St. Nicholas On The Water
Parthania Dawson 3 years ago
There has to be a story behind why the church is located there. I'd be interested in knowing the background.
We reached out to Alina Kisina, a Ukrainian-born photographer, artist, curator, and advocate for creativity working in the UK. In her work, she tries to find harmony in chaos through universal human qualities that reach beyond location, gender and social background. "I'm heartbroken and worried sick about everyone in Ukraine, not just my parents, childhood friends, and creative partners," she told Bored Panda.
"Putting the complex history, political dynamic and conspiracy theories to one side for a minute, I'm simply in pain for all those human beings who, just like most of us, were peacefully going about their daily life, working, raising children, creating something, saving for a vacation and now suddenly have to hide in a bomb shelter, flee and fight for their country and its basic freedoms," Alina said.
"I feel their fear and devastation, but also their courage and determination. And although I share the optimism, it's still going to be messy and tragic, and the cost will be not only human life today, but resentment and hatred for generations to come."

Putin will continue to bomb Ukraine as he knows the people are resilient, loyal and strong. He considers all his army of soldiers will scare them by sheer numbers, so he is now choosing to drop the banned scatter bombs do so much destruction that lasts in different ways even after they have not detonated at first drop they will later. If only someone could execute him capture and legal actions are not for a despot as he, for whilst he rules Russia he will gain more personal delusions of power as any global monster

Vozdvizhenka - A Pearl Of Kyiv. The Elite Micro District Of The City. Each Element And Color Perfectly Refined, They Show A Real Rainbow
Debbie Baxter 3 years ago
What a lovely place if only we could visit and blend in with I'm sure are wonderful beautiful people, it's devastating to think how in a flash all this was destroyed and changed peoples lives for ever.
Alina moved to the UK when she was 19 and since then has created her home there. However, she revealed that Ukraine is a place of great inspiration and creative freedom she connects to every time she’s there. "It has its own fresh creative energy, irresistible buzz, and infectious ambition oozing out of so many passionate people who manage to do truly great things in art, culture, and education with very limited resources," she added.
"Ukraine is a beautiful country with its tremendous history and stunning natural reserves. I have a soft spot for Ukraine's many rivers, especially those that flow through cities like Kyiv, Dnipro, and Uzhgorod."
The artist recounted that her special place of respite is "a tiny village in the middle of nowhere in the picturesque Carpathian Mountains in Zakarpattia — a perfect hidden place to recharge and enjoy the simple life in serenity."

Old Wooden House In A Forest. Ukraine, The Forest Next To Zbrui Village
Loki’s Lil Butter Knife 3 years ago
Definitely reminds me of something from a fairytale or fantasy novel.
Ukraine’s nature, architecture, and landscapes are truly breathtaking, and its culture is strong in many traditions: music, art, cuisine, and more. The country has deep customs, wealthy talent, and a long cultural legacy. People there are known for their soft and generous hospitality, even when they’re facing the most difficult times in their lives.
According to Alina, Ukraine's culture is rich, colorful, and vibrant. "I'm a big fan of Ukrainian folk music with all its playfulness and cheer but also beautiful soulful sadness — both translate into the contemporary music scene beautifully."

I look at these photographs now and can't help but shed tears for all that the Ukrainian people have lost!! They had such a beautiful, clean, well looked after country. And then putin came along and destroyed the calm!!
"My sincere hope is that Ukraine will successfully send Putin back home and avoid further human losses, let alone a potential nightmare of this war turning into a full-blown global conflict," Alina told us.
She wishes that Ukraine "will have a chance to recover from the shock and trauma of what for many is simply a betrayal. That the country will find the strength to transcend this devastating experience and turn it into a powerful source of togetherness, wisdom and the greatness they bring. That their new cultural identity will help build a new present and a new future, allowing the country's creativity to flourish and make this world a better and more beautiful place."

Sadly, the Communist Regimes will tear these stunningly beautiful churches down since they are athiest and have no belief in God. In Communism, only the Government and dictator is worshipped, no other God before them! Such a sad state of affairs, and this church is absolutely the most beautiful Cathedral I've ever seen.
"Like any war, even the best of possible scenarios will bring a lot of tragic consequences. Instead of strengthening cultural links and understanding between people, it will multiply separation and hatred which will take decades to undo."
Alina concluded by saying that "too many people on either side of this war had no interest in it, yet they will pay the price. Perhaps it's too early to think about it but I'm already asking myself: what will it take and what can we do to not only repair the damage and bring healing but also make sure it doesn't happen again?"

"Keep In Touch". Popasna, Donbass, Ukraine
When I asked the kids what was the meaning of this painting, they mostly answered that it spoke about love.

Kyiv's "Eiffel Tower"
In 2014, Kievgorstroy has built a 16-meter copy of the Eiffel Tower in the French Quarter. That is almost 20 times smaller than the famous building, but, nevertheless, very similar to the original.
The Eiffel Tower in Kyiv can be reached by reaching the Lybidska metro station.

I'm just curious, is it just art, decorative piece? Or used for something?

Starokyivska hill, a place where there was a cult place of Slavic gods in ancient times

Perun is undoubtedly the highest god of the Slavic Pantheon. Worshipped across wide expanses of Slavic Europe and even beyond (as Perkunas he also appears in Baltic mythology), Perun is the reigning lord of the heavens, and the god of lightning and thunder.Mar 29, 2016 https://culture.pl › article

The Railway Station Of Odessa
The first thing that appeared to my eyes after reaching Odessa. I remember the respect I felt when I looked at this building after leaving the train at 5 a.m., which took me through half of Ukraine. I realized that I am at the other end of Europe, I am surrounded by different realities and a culture different from the one I know every day.
A peculiar mix of excitement and light fear, a distraction that this place will turn out to be, in the face of a homie wandering around Ukraine alone.
Spoiler: Well, it turned out to be a really cordial place, full of contrasts and people who often helped me when I needed that help.

What do you think ?

I must admit that I never really thought about Ukraine before the invasion. And I am deeply embarrassed now, that country is STUNNING! Why did I not know that? I want to apologize to all Ukrainians for my ignorance. I really hope that I can visit one day when the war is over.

The photos are beautiful yet heartbreaking. Such a beautiful place. So colorful, and so much character. Its disgusting that such a glorious, charming, and delightful place now looms in the darkness because of Putin. Prayers that this beautiful country will have peace and beauty restored soon.

I did not really know ukraine before the build up at it's borders. What a beautiful Country. How can Putin destroy such beauty and the wonderful people of Ukraine. I do not understand how one can be so hateful. Ukraine and it's people are in my prayers. We must stand with them and let them know they are not alone.
