“Beyond the Verdict” is one of the projects selected within the third annual micro‑grant support program for Ukrainian documentarians implemented by UAPP. The goal of the program is to support authors who continue to document the experience of a country resisting aggression and to create visual evidence of events that define the history of contemporary Ukraine. The program is carried out with the support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Ukraine.

Ukrainian photographer Yevhen Titov works at the intersection of documentary photography, journalism, and cinema. He is known as a freelance photographer whose works are published by leading Ukrainian and international outlets. Since the beginning of Russia’s full‑scale invasion, he has been actively documenting events in Ukraine, particularly in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions. His photographs of the aftermath of Russian shelling, the work of rescuers, and the military regularly appear in year‑end selections of the best images by major news agencies such as Associated Press. In addition, Yevhen Titov also works as a documentary film cameraman.

Dnipro and Odesa are once again recovering from strikes on residential neighborhoods. Following the twenty‑hour shelling of Dnipro on April 25, nine civilians were confirmed dead and 61 injured; the attack the day before claimed three more lives. In Odesa, two people were killed and nearly twenty wounded. The week was marked by a sharp escalation of shelling in border and frontline regions. Sumy, Nizhyn, Chernihiv, and Kharkiv suffered from enemy strikes, with intensified attacks in northern Kharkiv region. The situation remains consistently severe in the south and east — in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk. In Kyiv, the death toll from the April 18 terrorist attack rose to seven after a man died in hospital; seven more people, including a child, remain under medical care. At the same time, Prosecutor Ruslan Kravchenko clarified that it was not the mother of the injured child who died, but her sister.

Forty years ago, on April 26, 1986, one of the largest technological disasters in human history occurred — the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. In early May, the Soviet leadership decided to evacuate the population from the 30‑kilometer exclusion zone. By the end of 1986, more than 90,000 people had left their homes. For the displaced, the authorities built housing in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Chernihiv regions.

In the pro‑Russian information space, baseless accusations were spread that Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate, with Brussels’ support, was controlling the Hungarian opposition party *Tisza*. This conspiracy theory served as a tool to accuse Ukraine and the European Union of attempting to illegally change power in Hungary. The Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers publishes key anti‑Ukrainian narratives with a Hungarian focus, while Maksym Kishka’s photo report from Hungary documents the public mood in the country with factual precision.
