In much of Latin America, Ukraine is still seen through a narrow and often distorted lens \u2014 shaped by distance, limited direct contact, and the persistence of Kremlin-backed disinformation. While Russia\u2019s invasion dominates global headlines, the reality of Ukraine today extends far beyond the front lines. It is a story of survival and adaptation, of citizens navigating a war while holding onto their institutions, culture, and identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In late June, Colombian journalist Juan Carlos Rinc\u00f3n Escalante<\/strong> \u2014 opinion editor<\/a> at El Espectador<\/strong><\/em> and co-creator of the political satire program<\/a> La Pulla<\/strong><\/em> \u2014 spent a week in Ukraine at the invitation of the Transatlantic Dialogue Center (TDC). His visit, organized under the Spain and Latin America Cooperation Program, aimed to connect societies that, while facing different histories and geographies, share experiences of violence, trauma, and democratic fragility. The goal was not simply to report the war, but to understand the people living through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI wanted to understand how Ukrainians live in the midst of war \u2014 not just what the Russian invasion means, but what everyday life looks like here,\u201d Rinc\u00f3n said. \u201cHow people cope emotionally, how they protect their mental health, and what they still hope for. I think I\u2019ve seen that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Experiencing Ukraine Across Regions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of one week, Rinc\u00f3n, together with Venezuelan communicator and YouTuber<\/a> Oscar Alejandro P\u00e9rez and members of the TDC team, Alina Rohach (Project manager) and Bohdana Batsko (Project assistant), traveled across Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Lviv. The itinerary \u2014 designed and coordinated by Oleksandr Slyvchuk (Project Coordinator), Rohach, and Batsko \u2014 was a deliberately structured journey aimed at capturing the human experience behind the headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyiv: Daily Life, Interrupted<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Rinc\u00f3n\u2019s journey began in Kyiv, where a Sunday walk took him past the Pechersk Lavra, the Motherland Monument, the Holodomor Museum, and the city center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fragile normality broke quickly. On the night of June 23, a Russian drone struck a residential building. By morning, Rinc\u00f3n was at the site, taking in the damage. He later visited other residential buildings, a shopping center, the Ohmatdyt Children\u2019s Hospital, and a university hit in the same wave of attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI end the day emotionally overwhelmed,\u201d he reflected<\/a>. \u201cSeeing the destruction up close is shocking \u2014 so much suffering. Yet I\u2019m deeply impressed by the Ukrainians I\u2019ve met, living in this constant emotional whiplash between the pain of daily attacks and the need to carry on. Colombians know a lot about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Kyiv\u2019s meetings offered a window into the non-military fronts of the war. At the Regional Center for Human Rights<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, legal expert Kateryna Rashevska<\/strong> outlined Russia\u2019s systematic deportation of Ukrainian children \u2014 evidence now forming the basis for International Criminal Court proceedings, including an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine\u2019s Special Representative for Latin America<\/em><\/strong>, Ruslan Spirin<\/strong>, described the slow but deliberate work of expanding Kyiv\u2019s diplomatic presence in regions where Russian narratives have gone largely unanswered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At ZMINA Human Rights Center<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, Rinc\u00f3n met with Viktoria Nesterenko<\/strong> and Crimean Tatar activist and former political prisoner Leniie Umerova<\/strong>, who described life under occupation and attempts to erase Ukrainian identity. War crimes documentation head Yelyzaveta Sokurenko<\/strong> described the evolving tactics of repression in occupied territories and the challenges of preserving evidence in a protracted conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a focused briefing, Ruslan Deynychenko<\/strong> of the Kyiv-Mohyla School of Journalism broke down how Russian disinformation has evolved into a sophisticated tool of hybrid warfare. He explained how false narratives are crafted and amplified, including in Latin America, and emphasized that disinformation is a strategic weapon used by authoritarian regimes to manipulate public perception. Ruslan also discussed the StopFake<\/a> project<\/em><\/strong>, a flagship initiative of the Center for Media Reform<\/em><\/strong>, which he co-founded. StopFake not only identifies instances of misinformation about events in Ukraine but also initiated an international discussion on how to counter such a harmful phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the NGO \u201cUkrainian LGBT+ Military and Veterans for Equal Rights<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, Rinc\u00f3n met founder Viktor Pylypenko. The organization unites over 500 LGBT+ service members and veterans \u2014 some openly, others discreetly \u2014 and campaigns for marriage equality, protection from discrimination, and full inclusion in society. Pylypenko spoke about defending the country on the battlefield while also confronting ingrained prejudices at home, underscoring the inseparability of Ukraine\u2019s fight for sovereignty and for equal rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kharkiv: Close to the Fire, Steady in the Storm<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The journey to Kharkiv, coordinated by the Kharkiv Media Hub<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, exposed Rinc\u00f3n to a city shaped by resilience under fire. His experience captured the dual reality of destruction and adaptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accompanied by a war crimes prosecutor, Juan visited the so-called \u201cmissile graveyard<\/em><\/strong>\u201d \u2014 a collection site for remnants of Russian attacks, including Shahed-136 drones and ballistic missiles. These remains are preserved as legal evidence for future proceedings at the International Criminal Court. A symbolic moment unfolded near Kharkiv School \u2116134<\/em><\/strong>, which was heavily damaged by Russian shelling. It was near this school that Ukrainian veteran Dmytro Oliinyk <\/strong>and his fellow soldiers fought back Russian forces in 2022. Juan met Dmytro in person and listened to his testimony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city also revealed how culture and community endure. A ballet rehearsal held in a bomb shelter reflected the strength of culture in wartime, while the journey to Staryi Saltiv<\/strong> \u2014 a town once occupied by Russian forces \u2014 illustrated how communities are slowly rebuilding. At the De Visu<\/em><\/strong> drone manufacturing facility, Ukrainian engineers demonstrated how technology is being adapted for defense. In a shelter run by the NGO Through the War<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, elderly people and those with disabilities found safety and dignity despite the ongoing threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the visit, Juan shared his impressions on social media<\/a> and in a live broadcast for Noticias Caracol<\/strong><\/em>, offering Latin American audiences a rare and intimate view of Ukraine\u2019s wartime reality \u2014 not only through headlines but through human voices, spaces, and acts of quiet defiance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIf you asked me for one video to sum up Ukraine, this would be it,\u201d he wrote<\/a> from Kharkiv. \u201cA hospital that was hit by drones months ago \u2014 now working, with broken windows, a beautiful park in front, and people trying to live a normal life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Lviv Region \u2014 Healing the Youngest<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the Lviv region, Rinc\u00f3n visited Gen.Camp<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, a rehabilitation program for children affected by the war. Founder Oksana Lebedieva<\/strong> and chief psychologist Vanui Martirosyan<\/strong> described the careful process of rebuilding a child\u2019s sense of safety. Watching the children engage in games and workshops, Rinc\u00f3n saw a quieter form of resistance: ensuring that the war does not define their future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the Visit \u2014 A Human Message<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rinc\u00f3n is now preparing articles, videos, and digital content for audiences in Colombia and across Latin America. His reporting will carry Ukrainian voices into a region where the war is often misrepresented or ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Ukraine, the visit was more than a press tour. It showed how independent journalists from non-aligned regions can become trusted messengers, capable of cutting through disinformation and political noise. It was also proof that the most effective communication in wartime is often rooted in human stories \u2014 in the voices of survivors, soldiers, lawyers, activists, and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Ukraine works to build lasting ties beyond its traditional partners, experiences like Rinc\u00f3n\u2019s demonstrate the value of sustained, direct engagement. In the long run, such encounters can shift not only public opinion, but also the diplomatic landscape \u2014 forging connections that will matter long after the war is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit was organized with the support of the International Renaissance Foundation.<\/em><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
