Today, the photo exhibition “Horizons of Hope,” dedicated to Mother’s Day, opened in the lobby of the “Zoloti Vorota” station of the Kyiv Metro. The event was initiated and created by the NGO WOMEN OF THE FAMILY LINEAGE.

The exhibition brought together 30 women from different regions of Ukraine — representatives of families of servicemen who are missing, held in captivity, or killed while defending Ukraine. Each story is about strength, pain, and unbreakable faith.

An honored guest at the opening was Sofia Cherepanova, Head of the Women’s Wing of the All-Ukrainian Trade Union of Defenders of Ukraine. In her speech, she emphasized:
“For me, it is a great honor to be here with you. Because today, women are the invisible yet unbreakable support on which our country stands. You are the heart of this struggle. It is especially symbolic that this event is taking place on the eve of Mother’s Day. Because motherhood is about love that is stronger than fear. About faith that does not fade even in the darkest times. And today, we bow our heads before every mother who raised a Hero, and before every mother who continues to wait. May this exhibition become not only a reminder of pain, but also a source of strength. May it tell the world: Ukraine stands. Ukraine fights. Ukraine remembers. And as long as there are women like these — we have a future.”
