Warsaw, Poland, January 2023: N...You can't live with hate.

Warsaw, Poland, January 2023: Natalya Holovko, 55, war refugee from Kharkiv in Ukraine is posing at the flower shop, where she works. (Photo by Piotr Malecki) her statement: Natalia Holovko, 55 Kharkiv, works in a flower shop I left because I saw planes shooting from the window. It was terrible. We were leaving home on February 28, and on March 2 we were in Poland. The last day at home was amazing. Nature seemed to be saying goodbye to us. There was a lot of snow. It was so hard to leave. I wish people knew what it was like. How we ran away with children seeing fires from a distance. It was scary. I experience it just as my grandmother was running away from the war with my 3-year-old mother, so I was going to Poland with my 3-year-old grandson. We didn't take anything with us. As we were, so we went. We loaded our food into our pockets and I grabbed a 5-liter bottle of water. Later, when we drove for 3 days without food, this water saved us. We were going for a week, well, a month maximum. I can't understand how people of one faith, of one language kill each other? The older grandson couldn't sleep for the first 3 months and asked at night „Are they shooting? Are they shooting?” I used to wonder, what is happiness? Now I know that happiness is just living, waking up at home, just drinking coffee, talking to people. And the meaning of life is that your children don't cry. I would ask all people to do everything to stop this war. I had a very good relationship with the Russians. Anger and hatred grow inside me, but I try to extinguish it, because you will not build anything with it. You can't live with hate.

Mr Derwich reintroduced beavers to Bieszczady National Park in the 1990's, after hundreds of years of their extinction in this region. This little lake is a result of the dam built by the beavers, which have reshaped the landscape, creating more water retention and encouraging biodiversity. (Photo by Piotr Malecki)
