The Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers, in partnership with Ukraїner, continues its series of publications featuring important photographs from the previous month, focusing on key events in Ukraine.
In August 2024, Ukrainian photographers turned their attention to the Ukraine-Russia border in the Sumy region, where the Ukrainian army launched an offensive into the territory of the aggressor country.
The selection was curated by Yuriy Stefanyak and Vyacheslav Ratynskyi.
