Three damaged agricultural cars from Ukraine were delivered to the Czech Republic. Each unit is accompanied by a description of the history of the machine and the farmers who worked on them to draw attention to the global consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war. The exhibition also presents a virtual reality project from Ukrainian director Volodymyr Kovbasy, through which every visitor has the opportunity to spend 4 minutes in Ukraine and see with their own eyes the scale of ruins and the consequences of the “Russian measure”.
