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.

“And they held on.” A chronicle of the defense of Donetsk Airport through the lens and memories of documentarians
Every May we bow our heads to honor the memory of the defenders of Donetsk Airport, who heroically resisted the onslaught of Russian occupation forces and proved that they were capable of fighting and winning even under inhuman conditions. The feat of the Ukrainian “cyborgs,” who held the defense of Donetsk Airport for 242 days, can be grasped through the chronicle of events, photographs, and testimonies of documentarians Anatolii Stepanov and Serhii Loiko.

In fire and ruins: consequences of insidious Russian strikes on Kyiv, Dnipro, Odesa, and beyond
Ukrainian cities once again came under relentless enemy fire. Border and frontline towns suffered brutal attacks: Konotop and Balakliia were hit by a massive drone strike, while Pryluky endured a ballistic missile strike. Russian aviation terrorized Kramatorsk and Druzhkivka, and Kherson region lived under round‑the‑clock drone assaults. It was a harsh week for residents of Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa due to regular shelling both day and night. On the night of May 24, Russia turned Kyiv and its region into a true ordeal — a combined attack with missiles and UAVs brought widespread destruction, fire, and claimed the lives of civilians.

Red zone for photographs within the red zone of war. Ambrotypes by Stanislav Ostrous from the city of Kherson
Kherson today is especially fragile and vulnerable, just like its images on glass. The half‑ruined city and its inhabitants are imprinted in memory with a silver emulsion as delicate as pollen on butterfly wings. Photographer Stanislav Ostrous returns once again to his native city to document its life. This time he uses ambrotype — a 19th‑century photographic technique. He has converted concrete shelters into darkrooms, since the development of ambrotypes, like life itself, cannot be postponed.

Russian fakes and narratives about Chornobyl: from the disaster to the present
Four decades ago, the criminal negligence of the Soviet leadership led to the largest technological disaster in human history. Both during the USSR and today, the Kremlin exploits the tragedy at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant as a tool of manipulation. Its mouthpieces attempt to absolve the system of responsibility for the accident: they blame the plant’s personnel, pose as “hostages of the regime and the KGB” alongside other affected countries, and openly lie about well‑known facts, labeling them as “Chornobyl myths.”
