During the week from March 17 to 23, 2025, Ukraine suffered a series of Russian attacks on peaceful cities, resulting in significant civilian casualties and infrastructure destruction. Odesa, Zaporizhzhia and Kiev were particularly affected, where the aftermath of the attacks was recorded by photographers at the scene. In addition, the frontline territories of Kharkiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions were daily bombarded with various types of weapons. These events once again highlight Russia's continued aggression against Ukraine and its civilian population, resulting in numerous casualties and destruction.

Today we are focusing on a documentary project by Oleksandr Magula about football fans in Ukraine

During March 10-15, 2025, Ukraine was subjected to intense shelling by the Russian Federation. It was another week of systematic attacks that resulted in significant damage to infrastructure and numerous civilian casualties. Destroyed houses, dead and wounded people - these were the consequences of every day.

Until 2014, Toretsk, a mining town in Donbas, was home to more than 70,000 people. By the end of 2024, only 1,500 remained. Now, in March 2025, the number of people is unknown.

We continue to share the documentary projects of the finalists within the framework of the annual grant support for documentary photographers implemented by UAPP with the support of the International Press Institute.

From March 3 to 8, 2025, Russian troops did not stop devastating attacks on peaceful cities in Ukraine, causing civilian deaths and large-scale destruction of infrastructure. The worst hit was Odessa — the city suffered almost daily from drone strikes and missiles. Oleksandr Gimanov, a local documentary filmmaker and member of the UAFF, did not sleep with the residents — every night and every morning he recorded the consequences of the next Russian strikes. Kharkiv was also under fire: photojournalist Georgy Ivanchenko documented the destruction of a civilian house and an infrastructure object after the strike of the Russian Iskander missile.
