In Zmiiv, Ukraine, an outdoor memorial features two large murals displayed on panel boards set against a backdrop of lush green trees
MomentIn Zmiiv, Ukraine, an outdoor memorial features two large murals displayed on panel boards set against a backdrop of lush green trees. The left mural, painted on a light grey background, depicts a map of Ukraine in vibrant shades of yellow, blue, and green. Various images are superimposed onto the map, including portraits of historical figures, military scenes, and geographical features. Text in Ukrainian, "УКРАЇНА ПОПЕРЕДЖАЄ – ДОЛЕТІТЬ | ДО ВАС!" meaning "Ukraine warns - fly to you!", is visible at the top. To the right of this, another mural also features a map of Ukraine, predominantly yellow and blue. This mural prominently displays a stylized skull with a red lightning bolt striking its forehead, and the Ukrainian word "НЕПІЗН" followed by "ВБЕ", possibly intended to convey "unknown will be killed". Above the skull and map, a quote in Ukrainian attributed to Hryhoriy Skovoroda reads: "ГРИГОРІЙ СКОВОРОДА: МИ ПЕРЕКОНАНО ЛИШЕ ТОДІ, КОЛИ УСВІДОМЛЮЄШ, ЩО ЗА УКРАЇНУ ТРЕБА НЕ ВИБИРАТИ, А РИЗИКУВАТИ", translating to "Hryhoriy Skovoroda: We are convinced only when we realize that for Ukraine one must not choose, but risk." A white cross is also visible on this mural. A smaller banner to the far left displays "1918" and portraits of two men, with Ukrainian text below that is partially obscured. The murals are positioned on a paved area in front of a granite staircase. A single grey streetlight is visible behind the right mural. The overall scene suggests a commemoration or historical display.
