Children in Kyiv, including evacuees from other parts of the country, decorated traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs on Friday – but this year they have taken on a more patriotic tone.

A girl looks at an Easter egg painted in the traditional style, during a lesson for children of families fleeing from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as part of the upcoming celebrations of Easter, in central Kyiv, Ukraine April 22, 2022.

Nine-year old Bohdana was evacuated from the northern Ukrainian region of Chernihiv, which suffered from heavy Russian military activity. The ‘pysanky’ eggs, decorated with beeswax and dye, will be carried to Kyiv’s Maidan square at a memorial for “the Heavenly Hundred,” a reference to the more than 100 protesters that were gunned down in the Maidan uprising that toppled President Viktor Yanukovich in 2014.
