Octavian Fedco, 26, who studied architecture, is now a graphic designer and photographer in Chisinau. He works with the Moldova for Peace charitable organisation, which supports refugees fleeing Russian aggression from Ukraine. Octavian began as a volunteer with "Moldova for Peace" and was eventually hired as a full-time professional. The organisation provides supplies such as food, clothes, and blankets, and organises educational and entertainment events for Ukrainian children. While hopeful that pro-Russian parties will not gain power in Moldova, Octavian fears the situation remains uncertain.
