**New Exhibition Shines Light on Ukraine’s First Responders**
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine has partnered with the European Union to launch an interactive online exhibition. The exhibition, called “Moments Before,” takes a close look at the work of Ukraine’s first responders and police officers during Russia’s war against Ukraine.
**A Glimpse into the Lives of Emergency Workers**
The exhibition features stories from emergency workers in Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Mykolaiv. Through photos and personal testimonies, viewers can see the daily realities of these teams as they respond to emergencies, clear up after attacks, and work with canine units.
**Beyond the Duties: Human Stories**
The exhibition goes beyond just showing what emergency workers do. It delves into their emotional struggles, how they manage pressure and fatigue, and what keeps them going despite the challenges. The goal is to show these workers not just as professionals, but as people who face fear and exhaustion every day.
**EU Official Praises Exhibition**
The Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation to Ukraine, Stefan Schleuning, praised the exhibition for highlighting a human side that’s often overlooked in the work of police officers and first responders. He said it shows their personal struggles, which can’t be captured by statistics or numbers.
**UNDP Representative Emphasizes Importance**
The UNDP Resident Representative in Ukraine, Jaco Cilliers, noted that this project reflects broader changes happening in Ukrainian society. Rescuers and police officers are doing more than just responding to emergencies; they’re helping communities adapt to the realities of war.
