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.

“Three coffins from one family... it's not just a picture — it's something that stays with you,” - Kostyantin Liberov about the sorrow of war in Sumy region.
“In Sumy, the earth listens to the sky” - this is how Konstantin Liberov says about the border city. Recently, together with his wife Vlada, he documented Sumy region, a region that since the summer of 2024 has become a new hot spot along the front line. The Liberians record war not as a chronicle of explosions, but as a human being on the verge. In a conversation for the UAPF, Konstantin talks about the silence that holds the pain, the shots that cannot be shot, and why the worst is not the front, but the internal border between “here” and “there”.
