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.

“Security forces turned out to be weak forces.” How Ukraine lost Donetsk in the photographs of Serhii Vaganov

Where Holopynka and the Oleshky Sands are located. Photos with history through the eyes of Olena Huseynova
I remembered this photo of Ivan Antipenko in the first week of June. Blooming lilac and a fighter with a smoke block. Antipenko took this photo back in April. In the Kherson region. In the south, lilac blooms faster. Strawberries and cherries ripen faster. Russian air bombs arrive faster. And many more things in the south are happening faster. But I don't know how to use the word “faster” when describing the path to the Hola Marina or the Oleshkov Sands.
