Hypoxia.

Airport. Donbass is the largest industrial part of Ukraine. In 2014, Russia began a hybrid war against Ukraine: armed platoons of separatists, supported by Russian troops annexed part of the Donbass in May. Under the control of separatists appeared Donetsk - the largest city in the region. Ukrainian military tried to keep this strategic object, but after 242 days of fierce fighting was forced to leave it. One of the largest airports in the country is completely destroyed now. During the first battle, my car was parked at the airport. It was pierced by burst. Between battles, my husband managed to take the car. I found a bullet and kept it as a memento. The airport is a place where people come back, where someone waits for you, it is a symbol of home. When i think about it, I always catch my breath. In the project I use my photos along with the photos e from other authors.
