A hellish week for Odesa. Russia does not stop attacking peaceful cities
From March 3 to 8, 2025, Russian troops did not stop devastating attacks on peaceful cities in Ukraine, causing civilian deaths and large-scale destruction of infrastructure. The worst hit was Odessa — the city suffered almost daily from drone strikes and missiles. Oleksandr Gimanov, a local documentary filmmaker and member of the UAFF, did not sleep with the residents — every night and every morning he recorded the consequences of the next Russian strikes. Kharkiv was also under fire: photojournalist Georgy Ivanchenko documented the destruction of a civilian house and an infrastructure object after the strike of the Russian Iskander missile.

“He thought first about a great goal and his brothers, and only then about himself.” How Russian propaganda is trying to defame Ukrainian defenders.
Discrediting Ukraine's defenders has been one of the constant tasks of Kremlin propaganda since the Anti-Terrorist Operation in eastern Ukraine. In order to stop the advance of the Ukrainian army near the borders of Donetsk in 2014, Russia was forced to send its regular troops to help the separatists. And with the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Ukrainian Armed Forces finally destroyed the narrative of the invincibility of the “second army of the world.” The Russians suffered huge losses in equipment and manpower near Soledar, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and other Ukrainian fortress cities.

When Mriya burned down: Gostomel and the An-225 in the lens of Sergei Mikhalchuk
In the first days of the full-scale invasion, Gostomel became one of the key areas of attack for Russian troops and was supposed to become a bridgehead for the Russians to enter the capital. The fighting for the city lasted from February 24, 2022, when the occupiers tried to seize the strategically important Antonov airport by landing helicopter assault. The Ukrainian Armed Forces repelled the attack, but the shelling and bombing did not stop.
