"The unprovoked invasion of Ukraine retells an old story of conquest and control bringing destruction and death. With missiles falling onto cities, thousands already dead, and over two million refugees, mainly women and children, fleeing, we are witnessing a way of life, of freedom, being lost. As these refugees join the millions worldwide displaced by conflict and persecution, this war is bringing the added threat of nuclear weapons and mass destructioneven as ordinary Ukrainians take up arms and build barricades to defend their country. So many lives shattered, dreams destroyed, darkness spreading. What is this world into which we have stumbled?" In a time of growing ecological and humanitarian crises, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee bears witness to the darkness of the dying myth we are stranded in.
