Денні масовані атаки, вбивчі удари та заходи безпеки на залізниці: чим запам'ятається початок квітня в Україні
Росіяни все частіше обирають денний час для масованих ударів, розширюючи зону ураження по всій Україні. Початок квітня запам'ятається руйнівними атаками на Луцьк, Полтаву, Житомирщину, кілька діб поспіль під обстрілами Харків, були напади на Одесу, Суми та Чернігів. На вихідних армія РФ здійснила смертоносну атаку на ринок у Нікополі, напередодні дронами та ракетами обстріляла Київщину. Щодня на Донеччині й Сумщині бомбардування і нальоти безпілотників. Дрони й артилерія вражають Херсон, ворог розкидає по території міста протипіхотні міни. Серед об’єктів російських атак цього тижня: ветеринарна клініка з тваринами, продовольчі склади й термінал «Нової пошти», єдиний на Донеччині пологовий будинок. Через постійні загрози з повітря на залізничних маршрутах були затримки та евакуації пасажирів з потягів.

Strike on UNESCO cultural heritage in Lviv, and the shelling of Dnipro and Odesa: intensified Russian air attacks on Ukraine
The last week of March will be remembered for unprecedented drone attacks that swept across almost every region of Ukraine, both day and night. On 24 March, Russian forces carried out the most massive UAV strike on Ukraine to date, launching nearly 1,000 drones in a single day. They targeted the centers of Ukrainian cities, cultural landmarks, maternity hospitals, and people’s homes. The historic center of Lviv was among the sites damaged. One of the most tragic episodes occurred near a maternity hospital in Ivano-Frankivsk, where a father and his daughter were killed while visiting his wife, who had just given birth. It was also a devastating week for Dnipro and Odesa — Russian drones struck residential buildings and a medical facility. Over the course of the week, three maternity hospitals became targets of Russian attacks, and at least four kindergartens were damaged.

Destroyed infrastructure, civilians kept in fear: a week of Russian drone attacks
Russia has sharply intensified drone attacks in border and frontline regions. Throughout the week, air‑defense forces worked to intercept enemy UAVs over the capital. Drones also reached the western and central regions of the country. The enemy targeted railway, energy, and port infrastructure, industrial facilities, residential buildings, and civilian transport. Toward the end of the workweek, drones launched a massive attack on Odesa. Over the weekend, enemy strikes completely cut off power to Chernihiv and most of the region. The aftermath of the devastating drone attack on Odesa is captured in photo reports by documentarians Oleksandr Himanov and Tymofii Melnykov.

From Mariupol to Andriivka: how Mstislav Chernov filmed the war up close
Last year, Mstislav Chernov became the first Ukrainian to receive an Oscar for a documentary film — the film “20 Days in Mariupol”. Now he returns with a new job — “2000 meters to Andriivka”. In this film, the front appears not as an abstract line on a map, but as a concrete distance of two thousand meters — the space of death and life between Ukrainian soldiers and Russian occupiers.

Crimea Island
The road to Snake Island in good weather takes about two hours. At a certain section of the route, if you look at the horizon, you can see a chain of ships waiting for their turn to enter the port. This grain corridor is one of the greatest victories of the Security and Defense Forces in the fight for the Black Sea.
