The Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers, in partnership with Ukraїner, continues its series of publications of important photos from the past month relating to key events in Ukraine.
In September 2024, Ukrainian photographers told their stories about the events in eastern, southern Ukraine and in the capital, which included the fighting around Pokrovsk and field hospitals near Vuhledar, the exchange of prisoners, and Ukrainian Fashion Week.
Yurii Stefaniak and Viacheslav Ratynskyi worked on the sample.
