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.

Four years since the terrorist attack at the Kramatorsk railway station
In memory of the victims — and in the name of justice — we recall how Ukrainian and international documentarians, along with human rights organizations, disproved Russian disinformation about the missile strike on the Kramatorsk railway station on April 8, 2022. On that day, a Russian missile armed with cluster munitions turned a crowded train station into a battlefield, cutting short the lives of people who were trying to flee the war.

The photobook «Here They Build Houses from Ash»
As part of the FotoEvidence Ukraine initiative (UAPP × FotoEvidence), the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers (UAPP) has published Liza Bukreeva’s photobook "Here They Build Houses from Ash" — an intimate yet boundlessly expansive story about the everyday lives of civilians in de‑occupied and frontline communities. It is a book about routines in which logic sometimes disappears, but human dignity remains. About ruined places that may seem almost ordinary if you don’t look closely. And the moment you pause — the cracks emerge: fear, pain, stubbornness, hope.

Russian 'Fight for Peace' and Why It's Important to Know the Lessons of History
Russia has always engaged in deception by twisting and interpreting historical events. To explain the desire to seize foreign lands to a pro-Russian audience, Russia created a positive image of war—a "sacred" war with the noble goal of helping a "brotherly nation." At the same time, the enemy was always blamed for the war, as they allegedly forced Russia to fight.
