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.

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.

His black‑and‑white images capture the full spectrum of war — moments when a person sometimes has no choice about remaining on the light or dark side, as well as the ongoing effort to preserve light in others and within oneself.
