Unprecedented destruction in Kyiv, tragedy in Kherson, strikes on schools: the main facts about shelling in Ukraine over the past week
As a result of the May 24 attack in Kyiv, unprecedented destruction of cultural sites has been recorded since the beginning of the Russian‑Ukrainian war. The Russians are deliberately destroying educational institutions — the buildings of the Kyiv‑Mohyla Academy were damaged, a drone strike completely burned down a school in Chernihiv region, and a school in Derhachi was damaged. The enemy continues airstrikes on Kramatorsk, terrorizes Odesa both day and night, and attacks foreign civilian vessels in the ports. In Kherson, a Russian shell exploded on a playground, killing the father of a family; doctors are fighting for the lives of the mother and their three‑year‑old daughter, while the six‑year‑old daughter is in moderate condition.

Kostiantynivka: a strategic outpost in Donetsk Oblast under attack from Russian propaganda
Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Druzhkivka, and Kostyantynivka are cities that are part of the Kramatorsk-Kostyantynivka agglomeration. They are of strategic importance and form the basis of Ukraine's defense in Donetsk Oblast in the Russian-Ukrainian war. At the same time, the city of Kostiantynivka occupies one of the key positions in the Russian army's summer offensive. The Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers analyzes the narratives and fakes spread by enemy propaganda in Kostiantynivka since the beginning of the war in 2014: from the “main base of pro-Russian militias” to the “gateway to the last agglomeration in Donbas not controlled by Russia.”

The attacks were combined: Russia used Shahed-136, ballistic missiles, and Kinjal missiles in an attempt to overload Ukraine's air defense system.

Photo with history: without a staff war artist
No, war is by no means picturesque or beautiful, but some of its elements are beautiful, a man told me more than three years ago, looking at a cloud of nitric acid over Rubizhne in April. When I look at this May photo by Serhiy Morgunov, I remember his words. No, it's not beautiful. Not beautiful at all. However.

Photos by Oleg Pereverzev framed in a square
Oleg Pereverzev has been working as a photographer for almost twenty years. He has shot reports about extraordinary people and remarkable places in Ukraine, movie backstage scenes, studio portraits, and, in recent years, war. Oleg explained why a roll of film from the Svit film factory gave him freedom, why he was sometimes more interested in the technique of photography than the result, and why square-framed photographs of the world around him disappear after a day.
