A photo exhibition about the Kalinouski Regiment was presented in Lviv
A documentary photo exhibition titled "Kalinouski Regiment: The Long Road Home" was presented in Lviv. It tells the story of the combat path of Belarusian volunteers within the Defense Forces of Ukraine and their desire to return to their homeland, where they currently face danger, Hromadske reports .
The exhibition opened at the Warrior House. Most of the photographs were placed on cardboard boxes—symbolizing the fighters' constant relocations and their life far from home.
"The boxes you see at the exhibition symbolize our path home. This means that right now we are not at home, but in limbo, in a state of constant relocations. This is a symbol of moving. In this war, we have gathered a very large amount of baggage with which we will nevertheless return home," said Kanstantsin Sushyk, call sign Kos, a volunteer with the Kalinouski Regiment, explaining the idea of the exhibition.
The photographs depict the unit's combat path:
- The defense of the Kyiv region in the spring of 2022. After the battles for Bucha and Irpin, the volunteers headed south.
- Participation in the fighting in the Mykolaiv region and the counteroffensive in the Kherson region.
- Later—the battles for Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk in the Luhansk region, Bakhmut and Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region, as well as in the Kharkiv region.
- And finally, the Zaporizhzhia direction, where the regiment is fighting now.
