Ukraine Today Exhibition

This documentary photography exhibition presents the work of Ukrainian photographer Olena Melnykova, a member of the volunteer team Auto Angel Lviv, who regularly takes part in humanitarian missions to eastern Ukraine. Travelling alongside volunteers, she documents the lives of local people, the work of the team, and the everyday reality of war. These photographs are not only about destruction, but also about responsibility, resilience, mutual support, and the quiet determination of those who continue to defend Ukraine. This is not a story of the past. This is Ukraine today. Auto Angel Lviv is a Ukrainian charitable organisation that delivers humanitarian aid and vehicles to Ukraine’s defenders, recovers damaged vehicles from frontline areas, repairs them, and returns them to service. Another key part of its work is providing frontline evacuation teams with essential equipment used in the rescue of wounded soldiers. This exhibition supports a fundraising campaign to provide trauma backpacks—essential medical kits used by frontline evacuation teams to deliver life-saving care to wounded soldiers. In addition, Auto Angel Lviv continuously funds vehicle repairs, replacement parts, fuel, and the recovery and return of repaired vehicles to the front line. Every photograph tells a real story. Every donation helps save lives.
