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.

“‘Uncontrollable panic’ and ‘the mining of the DniproHES.’ What you should know about the ‘offensive on Zaporizhzhia’ narrative in Russian propaganda”
Kremlin propaganda is hoping for successful advances by the Russian army in southern Ukraine. That is why it actively spreads the narrative that residents of Zaporizhzhia are supposedly waiting for the arrival of the invading forces. Propagandists claim that “local media are wondering whether Moscow will take control of the city after negotiations or hand it over to Kyiv” (as stated by the propaganda outlet *Ukraina.ru*).

“Russia chooses ballistics over the negotiating table.” Summary of another week of terror
Another week has passed — and once again, a series of Russian attacks has struck Ukrainian cities both in the rear and near the front line. Despite technical negotiations between Ukraine, the United States, and EU countries, there has been no tangible progress toward peace. Instead, Russia continues to escalate the intensity of its strikes, undermining international diplomatic efforts. This week, the Kremlin’s aggression reached an unprecedented scale: massive drone and missile attacks targeted not only military sites but also civilian infrastructure. Despite the effective work of Ukrainian air defense, the sheer volume of attacks led to numerous casualties and destruction even in cities far from the front. These actions once again make it clear — Russia chooses war over peace.
