The Bells
The bells chime as a frequent reminder of the death and destruction caused by the escalation of the Russian war on Ukraine.
The bells are automatically triggered when websites* that track casualties and refugees are updated, up to four times a day. There is a bell for Civilian Casualties, Troop Casualties and Refugees.
