«Це була просто редакція, де працювали журналісти, оператори та монтажери». Як кремлівський режим свідомо атакує редакції в Україні
Росія, яка постійно порушує норми міжнародного гуманітарного права, правила та звичаї ведення війни, від початку повномасштабного вторгнення переслідує журналістів в Україні. Кремль усіляко намагається зупинити роботу медіа, які щодня розповідають правду про воєнні злочини РФ. Пропаганда країни-агресорки посилено працює, аби в українських містах панував інформаційний хаос.

Одеса у темряві й атаки по морю: тиждень російської агресії на Півдні України
Російські дронові атаки від початку тижня охопили прифронтові та прикордонні регіони. В Охтирці на Сумщині росіяни поцілили по багатоповерхівці, у Шостці атакували спортивну школу, де в той час займалися діти. На тижні ворог повторно вдарив по Фастову в Київській області. Масована ракетно-дронова атака прийшлася на Кременчук Полтавської області. Загалом найбільше атак росіяни здійснили на критичну інфраструктуру півдня України. Фоторепортажі з Одеси після російських обстрілів підготували Олександр Гіманов і Тимофій Мельников.

«Миротворство» по-російськи: ракети на Дніпро, бомби на Слов'янськ
Поки світові лідери ведуть перемовини про «швидкий мир» в Україні, Росія докладає ще більше зусиль, щоб нищити українські мирні міста. Від початку тижня під інтенсивними обстрілами прифронтові Краматорськ, Слов'янськ та Херсон. У Дніпрі від ракетного удару загинули четверо мирних жителів. У ніч на 6 грудня в День святого Миколая росіяни масовано вдарили по Україні дронами та ракетами. Ворог продовжує модернізувати свою вбивчу зброю. Росіяни тепер оснащують «шахеди» ракетами класу «повітря-повітря», розповіла «Українська правда» з посиланням на фахівця з радіотехнологій Сергія (Флеша) Бескрестнова. Ці ракети призначені для ураження літаків тактичної авіації та вертольотів, які знешкоджують «шахеди».

The city of salt, the city of war: Soledar through the eyes of Irina Rybakova
Before the full-scale invasion, Soledar was a deep rear — a city of mines, salt lakes, and silence. The war wiped it all away. All that remains are photographs, destroyed five-story buildings, and a single exhibition that has been turned into a memorial.

“I hate taking photos.” Dmytro Kozatsky on his shots from Azovstal, the burden of recognition, and internal pressure
On May 20, 2022, the withdrawal of Ukrainian defenders from Azovstal was completed, a symbol of invulnerability that held the defense in Mariupol surrounded by Russian troops for 86 days. Families of the defenders of “Azovstal” are still waiting for the return of their loved ones from Russian captivity. Today, the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers publishes footage of the photographer, at that time a soldier of the Azov regiment Dmitry (Orest) Kozatsky, taken on the territory of the plant during the defense, as well as a conversation with him — about photography, war, captivity and the right to pause.
