Воювали проти будинків і маршруток: хронологія російських невибіркових атак за минулий тиждень
Ворожий терор на Одещині не вщухає: росіяни здійснили три атаки на обласний центр і серйозно пошкодили районну лікарню в Ізмаїлі. На Херсонщині, окрім постійних загроз із повітря, майже щодня фіксують дистанційне мінування цивільних територій, повідомляють в ОДА. Проти вихідних росіяни вдарили безпілотниками по західних регіонах України. Ворог прицільно нищить енергооб'єкти, порти, адмінбудівлі, АЗС, громадський транспорт. Загалом за тиждень Україну атакували близько 1600 російських ударних дронів, майже 1100 керованих авіаційних бомб і три ракети, повідомив Володимир Зеленський.

Massive shelling of Dnipro and nightly terror in Odesa: a weekly overview of enemy attacks
Dnipro and Odesa are once again recovering from strikes on residential neighborhoods. Following the twenty‑hour shelling of Dnipro on April 25, nine civilians were confirmed dead and 61 injured; the attack the day before claimed three more lives. In Odesa, two people were killed and nearly twenty wounded. The week was marked by a sharp escalation of shelling in border and frontline regions. Sumy, Nizhyn, Chernihiv, and Kharkiv suffered from enemy strikes, with intensified attacks in northern Kharkiv region. The situation remains consistently severe in the south and east — in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk. In Kyiv, the death toll from the April 18 terrorist attack rose to seven after a man died in hospital; seven more people, including a child, remain under medical care. At the same time, Prosecutor Ruslan Kravchenko clarified that it was not the mother of the injured child who died, but her sister.

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.
