«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.

“Such footage should be used at the trial in The Hague, but it is 'off limits' for publication in the media.” How Ukrainian documentary filmmakers defend the truth about the war
The full-scale war that began on February 24, 2022, is another episode of Russian aggression that has been going on for centuries with impunity.In response to the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the occupation of parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, Russia received sanctions from the EU. However, this was not enough to stop the Kremlin authorities from occupying the whole of Ukraine. The Ukrainian people thwarted the Kremlin's aggressive plans - a small military operation that was supposed to last three days escalated into the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II, which has been going on for more than three years.
