00:00Our society understands how it is important to help people who are now in a very dangerous and very sensitive
00:11atmosphere.
00:12A new photography exhibition titled Not All of Them, Portraits of War Refugees has drawn attention to the human stories
00:20behind war and displacement.
00:22Organized by the Embassy of Lithuania in cooperation with Hazar University in Baku,
00:27it was opened by the Prime Minister Ingo Rukinyane as part of her visit to Azerbaijan.
00:32We had a lot of Ukrainians who are living now in Lithuania.
00:37We are happy that their integration goes quite easily.
00:42And almost all of them now are working.
00:48They brought families.
00:51But we understand that this is a temporary thing.
00:54Because every Ukrainian person, they are thinking and dreaming how they will come back again to home when it will
01:03be safe.
01:04We are lucky that we didn't have a language barrier.
01:11Because most of Lithuania can speak in Russian and English.
01:14So it helps to integrate Ukrainians in the labor market and into society.
01:22And we are lucky that our society, they are feeling that this help is very important.
01:28So we are the country which provides such a help and we will do it.
01:47The collection features black and white portraits of Ukrainians who fled the war and found refuge in Lithuania.
01:54We very much appreciate the support from the Republic of Lithuania and from the Republic of Azerbaijan
02:00for our displaced persons which found second home in their countries.
02:08The exhibition highlights the personal dimension of war focusing on individual lives rather than numbers.
02:14It offers visitors a closer look at the realities faced by the refugees
02:18while encouraging reflection on resilience and solidarity.
