Масштабний обстріл Дніпра та нічний терор Одеси: тижневий огляд ворожих атак
Дніпро та Одеса знову оговтуються від влучань по житлових кварталах. За підсумками двадцятигодинного обстрілу Дніпра 25 квітня, підтверджено загибель дев'ятьох мирних жителів, постраждала 61 людина, атака напередодні забрала життя трьох людей. В Одесі — двоє загиблих і майже два десятки постраждалих. Тиждень відзначився різкою ескалацією обстрілів на прикордонні та в прифронтових областях. Від ворожих ударів постраждали Суми, Ніжин, Чернігів, Харків, зокрема значно посилилися обстріли на півночі Харківщини. Стабільно важка ситуація на півдні та сході — у Херсоні, на Запоріжжі та Донеччині. У Києві внаслідок теракту 18 квітня зросла кількість загиблих до семи осіб — у лікарні помер чоловік; ще семеро поранених, серед яких дитина, перебувають під наглядом медиків. Водночас прокурор Руслан Кравченко вніс уточнення щодо загиблих, життя втратила не матір пораненої дитини, а її рідна сестра.

Russian propaganda in action: how the Hungarian government used Kremlin narratives in its election campaign
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.

A tragic week for Ukraine: brutal Russian attacks on peaceful cities and an armed assault on people in the capital
Russia turned Easter Week into a time of relentless airstrikes. The most brutal and destructive attacks targeted Dnipro, Kyiv, and Odesa. Around one hundred civilians were injured during the massive assault of April 15–16, when Russia launched more than 700 aerial targets. Russian drone and missile strikes claimed the lives of children in three cities: in Cherkasy, an 8‑year‑old boy was killed on a playground; in Kyiv, a ballistic missile killed a 12‑year‑old child in bed; in Chernihiv, a teenager was found dead under the rubble of a collapsed building. During the week, Russians cynically attacked medics and hospitals, bombed a reservoir, and carried out assaults on civilian vessels. Over the weekend, tragedy struck in Kyiv: six people were killed in a shooting. Among the wounded was a boy whose parents were victims of the assailant.

“‘They were accompanying Ukrainian soldiers.’ How Kremlin propaganda tries to justify the attack on photojournalists”
Ukrainian and international photojournalists who show the world the truth about the war have been targeted by the Russian army from the very beginning. Kremlin propaganda labels documentarians as “mercenaries” and “propagandists,” while they are attacked on the roads, in dugouts, and in frontline hotels where the press typically stays.

“‘The war is very close here.’ The true meaning of Kherson’s shelters in the photographs of Ivan Antypenko”
Kherson is a frontline city located just a few kilometers from Russian positions, separated from the already occupied territories only by the river. Shelters in Kherson are not merely physical spaces — they have become a forced part of everyday life for its residents. Photographer Ivan Antypenko descended into the basements of apartment buildings, hospitals, theaters, and schools to capture what life in Kherson looks like underground. His photographs show the people who have remained in the city — for whom a shelter carries deeper meanings than simply a safe place.

Struck day and night: another week of Russian terror in Ukraine
The Russian army continues to destroy the energy infrastructure of Ukraine’s border and frontline regions. “In recent weeks, the enemy has changed its shelling tactics and shifted its focus from massive strikes on the Ukrainian energy system as a whole to concentrated attacks on its elements in specific regions,” said Vitalii Zaichenko, Chairman of the Board of Ukrenergo. On 10 October 2025, Russia launched a large-scale strike on Ukraine’s energy sector — exactly three years after the massive attack of 10 October 2022. Russia is also attempting to complicate transportation to frontline regions by targeting railway infrastructure. Beyond that, this week the Russian military struck a maternity hospital, a grain warehouse, port facilities, as well as energy workers, rescuers, and children.
