These Ukrainian artists capture the country's spirit and the war's toll

These Ukrainian artists capture the country's spirit and the war's toll

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, Sana Shahmuradova, a full-time artist, had to move to the countryside. At first, she couldn't fathom creating any art.

"My brain got very much blocked," she told NPR's Weekend Edition. "I heard first explosions and it took me a week maybe, to get back to drawing."

With her art supplies left at home, she's gotten creative, sketching on wall paper scraps, using charcoal, her younger brother's crayons and gouache paints, even boiled beets.

She often depicts a woman holding a baby to her chest, as ghostly figures reach for the sky.

"I just imagine that there is this mother - an archetypal mother, or just a regular mother - feeding her baby. And there are people around trying to metaphorically save this new life, new generation."

As Russian forces continue to attack Ukraine, some Ukrainian artists continue to capture the spirit of their country and the war's toll. These are some of their stories:

Iryna Babenko

After waking up to the sounds of bombs at 5 a.m. on the day the invasion started, Iryna Babenko posted a series of illustrations that tell the story of the resilience, life and the people at the center of the war.

One illustration, which shows a cluster of sunflowers - Ukraine's national flower - growing out of skulls tagged with Russian flags, pays homage to the words of a Ukrainian woman shown in a viral video.

In the video, a woman tells Russian soldiers to put sunflower seeds in their pockets so that something will grow when they die.

The illustration shows three skull's merging with a gray ground. Above them, four blossoming, intertwined sunflowers stand tall.

Yuliana, a Ukrainian-born photographer and artist, emulates the "indestructible" spirit of Ukraine in a portrait of a woman, she tells NPR. The woman's body appears cracked, but the Ukrainian flag shines beneath the gaps.

"I wanted to show that no matter how much destruction Ukrainian land will have to endure, bombs and bullets can never destroy the will, strength and spirit of the Ukrainian people." They will "stay strong till the end," she said, "and never surrender. "

Valeriya Kamelkova

Valeriya Kamelkova's portfolio is filled with colorful monsters, ice cream, dogs and even a yeti. But an illustration posted on Instagram after weeks of war stands in stark contrast.

In a minimalist illustration, Kamelkova depicts a rendition of the Russian flag, with the red stripe appearing as a pool of blood. Two open hands reach up out of the red pool.

The war divided the lives of all Ukrainians into a before and after, Kamelkova writes on Instagram, but some will never live to see the after.

"We fall asleep to the sounds of sirens and wake up from explosions, count the surviving relatives and friends and hope that TOMORROW will still come," Kamelkova told NPR in a statement.

Liliia Kovalyk

"Can you hear us now?," Liliia Kovalyk writes on Instagram.

Kovalyk, an illustrator and character designer, writes of witnessing mothers and their newborns seeking shelter in hospital basements and subway stations.

In one evocative piece, Kovalyk shows a woman standing on a train with tears rolling down her cheek beneath furrowed, helpless eyebrows. The mother cradles a baby, draped only in a Ukrainian flag. She stares directly forward, almost as to make eye contact with the viewer.

"I really hope this will end soon and we all will live in peace," Kovalyk writes.

Melania Trump Poised To Move From Sidelines To Spotlight

Melania Trump Poised To Move From Sidelines To Spotlight

Donald Trump's wife, Melania Trump, may be quiet but she's not invisible.

She spends most of her time at home, raising the couple's 10-year-old son, Barron, and sometimes makes appearances with her husband at rallies. On occasion, she introduces him.

Now, she will address the Republican National Convention, reportedly on Monday night.

At a Milwaukee rally in April, she sounded a bit like her husband, the presumptive GOP nominee.

"He's kind. He has a great heart. He's tough. He's smart. He's a great communicator. He's a great negotiator. He's telling the truth. He's a great leader. He's fair. As you may know by now, when you attack him, he will punch back ten times harder."

In interviews, when questioned on some of her husband's controversial actions and stances, she's been quick to defend him. Asked by CNN interview in February what she thinks of the criticism that Donald Trump is racist, she was quick to defend his rhetoric:

"He's not racist. He's not anti-immigrant. He wants to keep America safe. He wants to have illegal immigrants taken care of, that they will not be in the country, that they don't pay taxes, that they are are criminals, and that they are not good for the America. He was talking about the illegal immigrant not about everybody."

Immigration is personal for Melania Trump. A native of Slovenia, she is an immigrant herself. If Donald Trump becomes president, she would be the first first lady since John Quincy Adams' wife, Louisa, to be born abroad.

There are a lot of other firsts that would come with First Lady Melania Trump: She would be the first First Lady whose native language is not English. She'd be the first first lady who was a supermodel. And she'd be the first first lady who is her husband's third wife.

But it's not so clear exactly what kind of first lady she would be, according to Katherine Jellison, a Professor of History at Ohio University, who studies first families.

"She really hasn't been forthcoming about how she would see herself as a First Lady. So, you know, scholars have nothing to go on there," said Jellison.

But Melania Trump has left some clues.

"If history is any guide, she might be sort of a Jackie Kennedy type, a well dressed woman who will be seen as popular in the women's magazines but largely stays quiet and on the sidelines in terms of her public image."

"I think she will be a quiet first lady. Because that's been her demeanor throughout the campaign - someone who doesn't weigh in on policy issues," Jellison said. "If history is any guide, she might be sort of a Jackie Kennedy type, a well-dressed woman who will be seen as popular in the women's magazines but largely stays quiet and on the sidelines in terms of her public image."

Of course, Jackie Kennedy - in addition to being a fashion plate - had issues that she championed, like historic preservation and American art.

All modern First Ladies, even the ones uncomfortable in the public eye, have found something to focus on. When Barbara Walters asked what cause she might choose, Melania Trump didn't give a definitive answer, but said she would pick something when the time came.

"I'm very involved in charities now. Many, many charities, involving children, involving many different diseases. And if the time comes, I will choose what is dearest to my heart and work on that hundred percent," Melania Trump said.

But despite her preference for the sidelines, Mrs. Trump is, like many politicians' wives, a constant and trusted adviser for her husband.

"I follow the news from A to Z and I know what's going on. I'm on the phone with my husband few times a day. He calls me. I call him. I tell him what's going on. He's on the road. And I give him my opinions," she said.

What might some of those opinions be? Donald Trump disclosed one: "She said you could tone it down a little bit on occasion, which I understand."

She's been even more specific than that. When asked for the one habit she wished he would give up, Melania had a definitive answer.

"Let's see ... Tweeting," she quipped.

That's advice her husband has only occasionally followed.
