I’m in Mykolaev, a strategic port city in southern Ukraine that is preparing for imminent attack. Ukrainian artillery is firing at Russian positions all around the city. The one bridge out of town is rigged to blow and soldiers at the entrance are armed with anti-tank rockets.

A little context: I was given permission by the Ukrainian military and local government officials to take this picture and provide this info. The gentlemen in this picture have very big guns. If I had not received permission to photograph them they likely would have used them.
