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.

“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.

Crimea Island
The trip to Zmiinyi (Snake) Island takes about two hours in good weather. Along a certain stretch of the route, if you look closely at the horizon, you can see a chain of ships waiting for their turn to enter the port.
