Almost five years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion, Ukraine has shown remarkable resilience in the face of war – and not just on the battlefield.
While the environment usually takes a backseat in times of conflict, Ukraine has continued with its rewilding efforts, sowing the seeds for a green, more peaceful future. Now, residents of one Black Sea city are taking the circular economy underground amid the threat of Russian strikes.
Chornomorsk is a hub for Ukraine’s repair movement, but has been subjected to Russian missile strikes. Ahead of International Repair Day on 17 October, organisers of Chornomorsk Repair Festival in Ukraine are relocating their event to an underground shelter after the college building where they hold repair cafés was bombed.
