The Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers, together with Ukraїner, continues to publish a selection of important events captured by Ukrainian photographers in November 2024. This month, Ukrainian photographers took their cameras to the front lines in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, filmed farewells to fallen soldiers, shelling of cities by the enemy army, and much more.
Yuriy Stefaniak and Viacheslav Ratynskyi worked on the selection.
Here are 10 important photos of November:
1. A soldier of the 3rd separate assault brigade wounded in action in a field hospital in the Kharkiv region. November 2024. “During these few days at the hospital, I kept thinking that they might bring someone I knew. I tried to take pictures of the wounded on the table as if they were my friend,” describes her feelings Liza Bukreeva, the author of the photo.
2. A man walks his dog during a power outage in Kyiv caused by massive rocket and drone attacks on energy infrastructure. November 2024. Photo by Alina Smutko
