29 Heartbreaking, Yet Moving Pieces Made By Artists All Over The World After The Russian Invasion Of Ukraine
We live in anxious and heartbreaking times, where things we eagerly believed were finally behind us suddenly come true. Despite our innocent and sometimes even naive beliefs, enraged and cruel men have frankly chosen to decide our future for us. It seemed like our world was on the right track to finally becoming better; things have changed dramatically for the past few decades, as we've become more acceptant and loving of each other, though, turns out, it doesn't change a thing as we're all just pawns in someone else's game.
It's crucial to remember that no matter how uneasy and terrifying these days are, sooner or later, we will finally get that clear sky above our heads. And maybe, just maybe, a time will come when there will be no more life-taking conflicts. For now, if you would like to support Ukraine during these horrific times, you can donate by clicking right here.
Bored Panda has gathered a few powerful artworks that folks around the globe so lovingly dedicated to Ukraine and its people in support of the ongoing crisis.

On point! We need to remember that this is one man (and his staff), not all Russians.

I would like to mention: foreigners don't understand a range of repressions inside Russia. Those people who went out to meeting yesterday risk their lives for real. 1k+ people were arrested yesterday, some of them were taunted by policeman, some of them probably get insured or raped. Policeman shoots all meetings on cameras to haunt people later. Some people would be fired, arrested, pay unreal fines much more later (up to half of a year). That is what's happening to us whole last year.

This one is like putting a swastika and Jewish star on those fingers. This is how it feels for a Ukrainian person. No one is "having a conflict". One country invaded another. Russian people are killing Ukrainian people. Putin didn't personally go to Bucha. Please stop promoting these general "peace" visuals, name the villain, call war war and don't hide it behind peace signs and doves.

didn't want to produce something esthetic. all good to you, Drager Meurtant
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine that began in February 2014 has sadly turned into something that ordinary people were so afraid of. Governments decided to get into a bloody fight, selfishly ignoring the well-being of innocent citizens, while focusing on achieving god knows what. All of us who so purely believed that, these days, events like that could've been easily avoided were, once again, proven wrong.
It appears that nothing we do or say can influence the actions of the folks above us, though it doesn't mean that we should tolerate it and wait for the storm to pass. People and politicians are two completely contrasting things that could never be compared, which is why it's crucial to stand and fight this evilness together.

As people of the world, it's important to support our neighbours however and whenever we can. Undoubtedly, at times it might feel like everything is impossible; some folks might get arrested for voicing their support, others might end up dealing with even worse consequences. It's painfully upsetting to think that in 2022, conflicts that put ordinary families at risk are still real, and it all feels like a fever dream that you're trying so hard to wake up from.
Knowing that there're people out there that simply do not care about anything or anyone other than their own power is truly bloodcurdling.

Every piece of art is impressive, but this one tugs my mind. It is an amazing blend of beauty and tragedy. This Panda collection, along with other notable works, like photos of protests in Russia, events in Kyiv, the actions by Ukraine citizens, political cartoons, etc., would at some point make an irresistible exhibit/ experience. As the visitors to this possible show, we, the visitors, would HAVE to face and feel connected to the stunningly courageous Ukrainians AND with the Russian people who are risking their very lives as well, by publicly expressing their hatred of Putin, and connection with Ukrainians who may lose their treasured democracy. This is a pivot point the world is watching, and the ending may be a colossal tragedy. But we must continue to be involved, in whatever way possible. Thank you for this Panda series. It is painful to see, but extremely important.

This is so sad. I am Russian. Putin can go to hell and stay there. An elderly relative had a cardiac event yesterday watching the news and had to go to the hospital. I am terrified for the Ukrainian people. Russians are heavily divided over this. Some of us are very much against this invasion. Some think the sun shines out of Putin's butt. U.S. and NATO influence is also a heavy topic for debate. It feels strange that while we are having heated arguments over this people are suffering. All our shouting means nothing to the people in power.

I'm obviously heart broken about the horror Ukrainian people are going through right now. I'm also concerned about pets and innocent animals in the area. I would be besides myself figuring out how to stay safe and keep my pets safe as well!
Fighting for the sake of portraying your leadership is the coldest and most inhumane thing one can do. It's simply beyond any belief and impossible to grasp that, in this day and age, country leaders haven't really tried to find a method to solve and communicate without destroying so many lives. It's a fact that our world is, unfortunately, suffering in so many other ways that we've been taking for granted and having folks that, in reality, take over our everyday lives shouldn't even be a real thing.

As I'm from Italy, and both Italy and Ukraine are in Europe, I used colours you would find to be pretty common in this continent (I actually based the hair colour of the girl on the left on my own hair colour) :')

Bored Panda browsed the internet and collected the most inspiring and powerful art dedicated to Ukraine and its citizens. In these uncertain times, when nobody knows what tomorrow is going to bring, it is significant to show empathy towards those who were affected by the hand of this horrible attack, as together we're much stronger and are capable of putting an end to such an unnecessary but spine-chilling event. It's crucial to believe and stick together, as with love – there'll be peace.

Putin is a terrible, selfish, delusional man whose means IN NO WAY justify his means. All of those innocent people- dead because of HIS awful decisions.
Nobody could ever foresee what the next day, the next month or the next year will bring to us. However – nobody ever "wins" a war, you can't win something that killed thousands of people, or frightened thousands of innocent children. There is only losing. No amount of power can ever justify these horrific battles, and all we can do is fight back – with our voices, with our support and empathy.

Unfortunately, Ukraine doesn't have any chance of surviving. Russia has so many troops and tech. Even if the United States gets involved Putin said (with some of my paraphrasing) "If any other countries interfere they will experience difficulties they've never experienced before" implying a war, or worse nuclear assault 😔

If anybody is reacting to this with numbness I just want you to know you're not the only one. I'm actually pretty sure it's not unusual (and it does have survival advantages to have a clearer mind when bad things happen). It can cause me anxiety/shame/guilt whenever I see other people with such strong reactions and I feel like I'm doing something bad or wrong.
