Through Their Eyes: The Lives of Ukrainian Defenders is a free photo exhibition which will take place from 4pm at the Leeds Ukrainian Community Centre, Back Newton Grove.

Organised by the Leeds Ukrainian Community Association (LUCA), the event aims to give audiences an insight into the lived experiences of Ukrainian soldiers.

In 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion into Ukraine, escalating the Russo-Ukrainian War which first started in 2014.

It is the largest war in Europe since World War II.

Through Their Eyes will display images from the past three years of the conflict which have been taken by Ukrainian soldiers themselves.
