WAR IN UKRAINE<br />

A summer<br />

when Ukraine<br />

remembered and<br />

commemorated,<br />

but the war<br />

continued<br />

Myroslav Shkandrij<br />

This summer, as a shaky ceasefire appeared to hold,<br />

Ukrainians were able to look back over the events of the<br />

last two years. Reminders are everywhere. A sculpture<br />

in the Mystetsky (Art) Arsenal Gallery in Kyiv shows a<br />

map of the country with Crimea broken off. Made from a<br />

shattered wall, it marks the moment in March 2014 when<br />

Putin sent troops into Crimea and annexed the peninsula.<br />

he dramatic events of the Maidan demonstrations between<br />

November 2013 and February 2014 were on display<br />

all summer in the centre of Kyiv, where a photo<br />

T<br />

exhibition provided eerie reminders of the drama in<br />

that played out in the same space a little more than a year ago.<br />
