Anton Belinskiy, a designer who was shortlisted for the LVMH Prize, is with his grandfather, mother, sister and her baby near Bykhov Military Base in the central Ukrainian city of Vasylkiv. “Just a few kilometres from us, there are explosions, the whole house is shaking,” Belinskiy told BoF. “We pray because we must be strong and support each other.
