The "Documentary Photographers on the Frontline: the Support of Ukrainian Photographers and Their Projects" project is an important step in supporting Ukrainian documentary photographers who risk their lives to tell the truth about the military conflict in Ukraine. The UAPP will contribute to the development of this important profession and broaden the world's understanding of the situation in Ukraine by providing funding, training and security support.
