In October 2024, Ukrainian photographers filmed the hostilities mainly in the Donetsk region, where the Russian army concentrated all its power and had significant successes, and documented the shelling of the largest Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, and others.
Yuriy Stefaniak and Viacheslav Ratynskyi worked on the selection.
Here are 10 important photos from October:
