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.

The UAPP micro‑grant program is an annual initiative created to support Ukrainian photographers who continue documenting the experience of a country resisting aggression and who shape the visual record of events defining the history of contemporary Ukraine. At a time when authors risk their lives, lose the ability to work, or face financial constraints, the program gives them the resources to keep going — while also helping preserve the visual memory of the war, support new voices, and create a space in which those voices can be heard.

Energy infrastructure remains a priority target for the Russian army. Transport infrastructure, industrial facilities, and residential buildings are also under attack. In Lviv, Mykolaiv, and Dnipro, a series of terrorist attacks were carried out against police officers, resulting in deaths and injuries. Over the past week of the war, Russia has used more than 1,720 attack drones, nearly 1,300 guided aerial bombs, and over 100 missiles of various types against Ukraine. Throughout the winter, Russia launched almost 19,000 attack drones, 738 missiles, and more than 14,670 glide bombs.

Vladyslav Krasnoshchok’s photobook “Documentation of the War” includes photographs taken from 2022 to 2025. However, the book does not follow a strict chronology. It is structured as the movement of a human gaze and experience: the viewer first observes the war from a certain distance, then finds themselves at its very epicenter, and finally — remains alone with it. It is a path from the distance of a shared space to an intensely close presence that leads toward an inner quiet. There is no final period here, because the war is still ongoing.

The week once again became a trial for Odesa due to Russian shelling: the enemy carried out three massive attacks on the energy system, destroying residential buildings and architectural landmarks. Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Sumy region, Kharkiv region, and Dnipropetrovsk region also suffered from enemy fire. There were losses among those who save lives and restore power — three energy workers, four police officers, and a medic were killed. The week did not pass without massive attacks across all of Ukraine. On Tuesday, Russia struck 12 regions. The week ended with a combined attack on Kyiv region and a terrorist attack in Lviv.
