April 25-26th
The third month of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has begun. The occasional photos of destroyed Mariupol by civilians are one of the few sources of truthful information, as journalists are no longer present in the city. The occupiers continue to shell residential areas of Kharkiv, especially the severely damaged Saltivka. A Soviet sculpture of workers under the Arch of Friendship of Peoples was dismantled in Kyiv.
