1,000 days of war marked with growing memorial in Ukraine’s capital

Before Russia’s invasion, one square was an ordinary green lawn in the heart of Ukraine’s capital of Kyiv. Tourists would visit to take photos, and locals would stroll there on weekends. But 1,000 days of war have transformed it into a makeshift memorial, dotted with blue-and-yellow flags — each honouring a soldier who died fighting Russia.
