The book “Dark days” is a documentary project of about the tragic consequences of armed conflict for civilians in the South-East of Ukraine- Donbass. I have been documenting the war in Donbass since it started, and during these five years made over ten trips to the war zone, where I witnessed the full extent of the humanitarian disaster. The project consists of three big parts that reveal different sides of this war, but each being a facet of the same tragedy.
