19 November 2024 marks 1000 days since the start of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine – 1000 days of relentless resistance and a fight for freedom, at the edge of possibility and impossibility.

In honour of this milestone, the Museum of Civilian Voices by the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation has launched a major special project, «1000 Days. Thousands of Stories», which reflects key moments of the war in Ukraine through the personal testimonies of residents from across the country.

This collection includes 20 significant milestones from the 1000 days of war: the first days of fighting and the first refugees, the tragedy of Mariupol, the hellish experiences of Bucha and Irpin, the abduction of Ukrainian children, the destruction of the Kakhovka HPP, the liberation of Kherson, and more.
