UAPP, in partnership with Kyiv Independent, continues its monthly feature — a curated selection of key photographs that most precisely convey the events, mood, and challenges of another month of the full-scale war.

This selection includes not only major events, but also everyday moments that, through the lens, become symbols of the time. Photographs that document pain, dignity, exhaustion, strength, and hope. Images that help us see and remember. Together, we are creating a visual archive of history unfolding right now.
