«Пейзаж в клітинку». Краєвиди прифронтового Оріхова в об'єктиві Костянтина та Влади Ліберових
Після повномасштабного вторгнення російської армії в Україну панорама міст, розташованих поблизу лінії фронту, вже ніколи не буде, як колись. Це точка неповернення до минулого життя: люди гинуть, виїжджають, будівлі спалює ворожа зброя. Сталість війни перетворює українські міста на напрямки. Одне з таких міст — місто-герой Оріхів. Вже чотири роки Сили оборони України тримають фронт на цьому напрямку. Лінія бойового зіткнення досить розмита й динамічна, від неї до Оріхова приблизно 7–10 кілометрів згідно з даними DeepState. Видання «Укрінформ» повідомляє, що російські підрозділи отримали завдання, якомога ближче підійти до Оріхова та закріпитися на його околицях.

Обстріляні Дружківка та Харків. Які ще міста постраждали від російської агресії цього тижня
З початком весни продовжуються російські атаки на залізничну та портову інфраструктуру України. Були влучання у залізничні підстанції, вагони й мости, а також пошкоджено цивільне судно у порту на півдні Одещини. Ракети, дрони й авіабомби щодня накривали Дружківку, Слов'янськ, Краматорськ. Вночі 7 березня росіяни здійснили п'яту з початку року масовану атаку на енергообʼєкти України. Трагічною ця ніч стала для Харкова — попередньо російська ракета «Изделие-30» зруйнувала цілий під'їзд, вбивши 11 людей, зокрема двох дітей.

Russian 'Fight for Peace' and Why It's Important to Know the Lessons of History
Russia has always engaged in deception by twisting and interpreting historical events. To explain the desire to seize foreign lands to a pro-Russian audience, Russia created a positive image of war—a "sacred" war with the noble goal of helping a "brotherly nation." At the same time, the enemy was always blamed for the war, as they allegedly forced Russia to fight.

“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.
