The image is a form of political commentary that satirizes a modern political viewpoint (in this case opposition to the 2006 Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon in response to Hezbollah attacks launched from that area) by projecting it into a different historical context (in this case the 1943 uprising of Warsaw Ghetto Jews against their German captors).

Artillery has flattened towns and sent millions of civilians fleeing to safer cities in Ukraine’s west or across its borders. Russian strikes have hit the capital, Kyiv, and the central city of Dnipro. In talks with its European and American supporters, Ukraine has received promises of tanks, air defenses and Western training for its troops.īoth Russia and Ukraine are expected to launch offensives in the spring: one to seize more of the eastern Donbas region, the other to claw back territory from the occupying Russians.īut even if fighting remains most intense in the east, the war pervades life everywhere. In a draft, Russia mobilized hundreds of thousands of men to shore up its defenses, compensate for heavy losses and hurl waves of troops at Ukrainian positions. And although Ukraine executed two largely successful counteroffensives in the fall - forcing Russia to retreat from hundreds of square miles in the northeast and the south - the pace of fighting has slowed to a vicious battle of attrition, largely over eastern territory. Those strikes have also fallen on towns and cities, inflicting a horrific toll on Ukrainian civilians, tens of thousands of whom are believed to have been killed. In the 12 months since Russian troops marched across Ukraine’s borders, the two countries’ forces have fought across hundreds of miles, in storms and baking sun, in sinking temperatures and all while artillery shells and missiles fell up and down the front. In snow-shrouded ruins where families once lived, muddy trenches and fields where farmers once toiled and dark city streets where missile strikes have knocked out the power, the evidence of Russia’s invasion is everywhere.
