Reviews

Gulnaz Sharafutdinova, Professor of Russian Politics, King’s College London:

"Messages from Ukraine brings you closer to the war and to the people living through it. We need more people to read this book."

Rory Finnin, Associate Professor of Ukrainian Studies, University of Cambridge:

"A creative, dynamic, and moving visual chronicle of the opening days of Russia’s horrific full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Messages from Ukraine focuses our attention where it should be: on the voices of the resilient people of Ukraine. Through diverse testimonials and vivid images, it reminds us why providing ambitious support for Ukraine is a moral imperative."

Tom Hart, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Rosalie Lightning, Director of the Sequential Artists Workshop :
“Wonderful art and cartooning, revealing the tragic and profound from a simple sentence or two.”
