UAPP, in partnership with Ukraїner, is launching a series of publications featuring key photographs of the month related to the full-scale invasion.
Some capture specific historical events, while others show ordinary moments skillfully transformed into symbols by the photographer. All of them are part of the new history we are creating together.
