War has changed the lives of Ukraine's 44 million people.

Two-and-a-half million people have fled as refugees and Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has recorded 500 civilians have been killed.

Images from the last two weeks of war capture how the war has changed the lives of Ukrainians through some of life's most precious moments: births, marriages and funerals.
