We need to do more in order to make a difference. This image means a lot to me. With my friend Hayal, during lighter times last year. Talking about #peace, protection + #care whilst threading jasmines. We too stand with 🇺🇦 + react to what is happening #StandWithUkraine️ #Cyprus

[Xarkis Festival @XarkisFestival]
