The watercolor shows a burning birch grove in Ukraine. You can see an explosion caused by the impact of a Russian missile. The rising flame mushroom is representative of the conflagration that this country is currently experiencing. Several fires have also broken out in the restricted area around the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant. It was there in 1986 that the worst nuclear accident in the history of civilian use of atomic power occurred.
The Putin system uses bombs as a form of collective punishment because the government in Kyiv does not surrender to Moscow. Ukrainian civilians are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.
