Російська пропаганда в дії: як угорська влада використала кремлівські наративи у виборчій кампанії
У проросійському інформаційному полі поширювали бездоказові звинувачення в тому, що Головне управління розвідки України за підтримки Брюсселя контролює угорську опозиційну партію «Тиса». Ця конспірологічна теорія слугувала інструментом для звинувачення України та Європейського Союзу у спробах нелегально змінити владу в Угорщині. Українська асоціація професійних фотографів публікує ключові антиукраїнські наративи з угорським акцентом, а фоторепортаж Максима Кішки з Угорщини документально точно фіксує суспільні настрої в країні.

Трагічний тиждень для України: жорстокі російські атаки на мирні міста та збройний напад на людей у столиці
Росія перетворила Великодній тиждень на час безперервних повітряних ударів. Найбільш жорстокими та руйнівними стали атаки на Дніпро, Київ і Одесу. Близько сотні цивільних поранено внаслідок масштабної атаки 15–16 квітня, під час якої Росія випустила понад 700 повітряних цілей. Атаки російських дронів і ракет забрали життя дітей у трьох містах: у Черкасах на дитячому майданчику загинув 8-річний хлопчик, у Києві балістика вбила 12-річну дитину прямо в ліжку, в Чернігові під завалами будинку знайшли загиблого підлітка. На тижні росіяни цинічно атакували медиків та лікарні, вдарили бомбами по водосховищу і здійснили напади на цивільні судна. У вихідні в Києві сталася трагедія: внаслідок стрілянини загинуло шестеро людей. Серед поранених — хлопчик, батьки якого стали жертвами зловмисника.
