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.

The city of salt, the city of war: Soledar through the eyes of Irina Rybakova
Before the full-scale invasion, Soledar was a deep rear — a city of mines, salt lakes, and silence. The war wiped it all away. All that remains are photographs, destroyed five-story buildings, and a single exhibition that has been turned into a memorial.

“I hate taking photos.” Dmytro Kozatsky on his shots from Azovstal, the burden of recognition, and internal pressure
On May 20, 2022, the withdrawal of Ukrainian defenders from Azovstal was completed, a symbol of invulnerability that held the defense in Mariupol surrounded by Russian troops for 86 days. Families of the defenders of “Azovstal” are still waiting for the return of their loved ones from Russian captivity. Today, the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers publishes footage of the photographer, at that time a soldier of the Azov regiment Dmitry (Orest) Kozatsky, taken on the territory of the plant during the defense, as well as a conversation with him — about photography, war, captivity and the right to pause.
