Maidan Kyiv Wall
Back down the Maidan Kyiv history lane.
I stood in silence before the wall, its cold stone heavy with names that told a story few outside this country fully understand. Many people believe the war in Ukraine began in 2022. They think it started with missiles, tanks, and the full-scale invasion. But the truth is, it started years earlier — in the cold streets of Kyiv, during the Maidan uprising and the fall of Viktor Yanukovych. When the barricades burned and the first gunshots echoed through the square, the war didn’t end with a political victory. It only changed shape. Behind me stretched a memorial unlike any I had ever seen. A wall filled with faces, names, dates. Over 10,000 Ukrainian defenders had been killed between 2014 and 2022, fighting a war the world barely noticed at the time. Farmers turned soldiers. Teachers turned medics. Students turned fighters.
