During the week of March 23-30, 2025, Russia carried out another wave of massive attacks on peaceful cities in Ukraine. Russian troops used guided aerial bombs, attack drones, ballistic and cruise missiles, causing numerous civilian casualties and significant damage to infrastructure.

The shelling of the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration building on March 29, 2022, was one of the largest crimes committed by the Russian occupation forces against the city's civilian population during the active phase of hostilities in southern Ukraine. This strike resulted in the largest number of casualties among Mykolaiv residents during the entire period of the full-scale war.

The Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers is proud of the documentary photographers whose photos represent Ukraine in the international media and once again draw attention to the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The full-scale war that began on February 24, 2022, is another episode of Russian aggression that has been going on for centuries with impunity.In response to the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the occupation of parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, Russia received sanctions from the EU. However, this was not enough to stop the Kremlin authorities from occupying the whole of Ukraine. The Ukrainian people thwarted the Kremlin's aggressive plans - a small military operation that was supposed to last three days escalated into the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II, which has been going on for more than three years.
