Night Watch - Stanton Sharpe
A member of the Kharkiv Police Department partakes in a nightly patrol to enforce the wartime curfew in Kharkiv, Ukraine. “Anyone who is found outside past the mandated 9pm curfew would be subjected to police interrogation and most likely arrested for the night,” explains the photographer Stanton Sharpe. “While most of the people caught roaming the streets past curfew are drunk civilians, there have been occasions where police have caught Russian spies operating under the darkness of Kharkiv nights, where all lights in the city are turned off to protect civilians from Russian aerial attacks.”
