Oleksandr Bezhan

Oleksandr Bezhan is a former fisherman from Malokaterynivka, Ukraine, whose livelihood has been devastated by the ongoing war. Standing next to a frozen paddock that once thrived with his fishing business, Oleksandr expresses a sense of hopelessness about the future, reflecting the broader struggles of many Ukrainians in regions close to the front lines, where the impact of conflict has left communities in limbo.
