Evgeniy Maloletka Instagram - WAITING FOR YOU Thousands of Ukrainians live in agony and uncertainty as they search for their missing loved ones. 1) Natalia Sheleshei, 39, with her children Yehor, 12, and Anastasia, 5, wait for the return of Serhii in Kyiv. Serhii Sheleshei, 49, a Ukrainian serviceman went missing during fighting near Zaitseve, on Oct. 12, 2022. “For a year and five months, I’ve lived with the uncertainty of whether my husband is alive or not,” said Natalia, who juggles two jobs. 2) Natalia, 35, waits for her missing husband Yuriy in Kyiv. Yuriy, 39, a Ukrainian serviceman, disappeared during fighting on Aug. 14, 2022 near Bakhmut. “He loves his family, his son, and truly loves Ukraine,” Natalia said, recalling her beloved husband. 3) Valentyna Yeremenko, 95, sits in her daughter’s home while waiting for the return of her husband Mykola in Bucha. Mykola, 96, a veteran of WWII, went missing during the Russian occupation of Irpin, on March 19, 2022. “We haven’t heard anything about Mykola, only the tear-off calendar on the wall remains, and March 19 is the last day a leaf was torn off… that’s when he vanished,” said Valentyna’s daughter Liudmila. 4) Svitlana Klymenko, 53, and her son Viacheslav, 31, wait for her husband in Ivankiv. Oleh, who worked as an ambulance feldsher went missing on March 6, 2022 during the Russian occupation of Ivankiv. “On the tenth day of the occupation, he went home to change clothes, to keep functioning normally, to continue working, but he didn’t return to work.” Viacheslav said. The war took the family’s father but also a son Mykola, who was killed during the fighting in Mariupol in March 2022. 5) Former wife Olha, 35, father Arthur, 64, mother Sofia, 69, and daughter Eva, 7, wait the return of Rostyslav in Kyiv. Rostyslav, 40, a serviceman with the 30th Mechanized Brigade went missing during fighting at the frontline in Mykolaivka Druha, Donetsk region, Ukraine on September 13, 2022. “After some time, I found his military ID on one of the Russian telegram channels. I still believe that he is alive,” said Olha. Producer @alexxbabenko #ukraine #war #russia #invasion Camera by @fujifilm_ukraine @apnews

Evgeniy Maloletka Instagram - VOVCHANSK, Ukraine Ukrainian officials haven’t officially confirmed whether Russian had taken the villages, which lie in a contested “gray zone” on the border of Ukraine’s Kharkiv region and Russia. The renewed assault on the region has forced more than 1,700 civilians residing in settlements near the fighting to flee, according to Ukrainian authorities. It comes after Russia stepped up attacks in March targeting energy infrastructure and settlements, which analysts predicted were a concerted effort by Moscow to shape conditions for an offensive. Today us accompanied an evacuation team described empty streets with multiple buildings destroyed and others on fire. The road was littered with newly made craters and the city was covered in dust and shrapnel with the smell of gunpowder heavy in the air. Mushroom clouds of smoke rose across the skyline as Russian jets conducted multiple airstrikes. “In the current moment, the situation in Vovchansk and the settlements along the border (with Russia) is incredibly difficult. Constant aviation strikes are carried out, multiple rocket missile systems strikes, artillery strikes,” said Tamaz Hambarashvili, the head of Vovchansk City Military Administration. “For the second day in a row, we evacuate all the inhabitants of our community who are willing to evacuate.” “I think that they are destroying the city to make (local) people leave, to make sure there are no militaries, nobody. To create a ‘gray zone,’” Hambarashvili said. Evacuees bade tearful goodbyes to their neighbors as they were taken away from their homes. “You lie down and think — whether they will kill you now, or in an hour, or in three,” said resident Valentyna Hrevnova, 75. “I hope that they (Russians) will not come, but ours (Ukrainians) will be here.” Vera Rudko, 72, was among those who left. “We drove through Vovchansk in the city center,” Rudko said. “I can’t look at this without tears. Everything is trembling. We didn’t sleep these two nights at all.” #ukraine #russia #war #invasion

Evacuees bade tearful goodbyes to their neighbors as they were taken away from their homes. “You lie down and think — whether they will kill you now, or in an hour, or in three,” said resident Valentyna Hrevnova, 75. “I hope that they (Russians) will not come, but ours (Ukrainians) will be here.” Vera Rudko, 72, was among those who left. “We drove through Vovchansk in the city center,” Rudko said. “I can’t look at this without tears. Everything is trembling. We didn’t sleep these two nights at all.” #ukraine #russia #war #invasion
Evgeniy Maloletka Instagram - VOVCHANSK, Ukraine Ukrainian officials haven’t officially confirmed whether Russian had taken the villages, which lie in a contested “gray zone” on the border of Ukraine’s Kharkiv region and Russia. The renewed assault on the region has forced more than 1,700 civilians residing in settlements near the fighting to flee, according to Ukrainian authorities. It comes after Russia stepped up attacks in March targeting energy infrastructure and settlements, which analysts predicted were a concerted effort by Moscow to shape conditions for an offensive. Today us accompanied an evacuation team described empty streets with multiple buildings destroyed and others on fire. The road was littered with newly made craters and the city was covered in dust and shrapnel with the smell of gunpowder heavy in the air. Mushroom clouds of smoke rose across the skyline as Russian jets conducted multiple airstrikes. “In the current moment, the situation in Vovchansk and the settlements along the border (with Russia) is incredibly difficult. Constant aviation strikes are carried out, multiple rocket missile systems strikes, artillery strikes,” said Tamaz Hambarashvili, the head of Vovchansk City Military Administration. “For the second day in a row, we evacuate all the inhabitants of our community who are willing to evacuate.” “I think that they are destroying the city to make (local) people leave, to make sure there are no militaries, nobody.

Evgeniy Maloletka Instagram - Сьогодні ще один день коли діти яких забрала та клята ракета вже не посміхнуться. В деяких цей страх буде на довго, а може на завжди. Я не так давно сам приходив до Охматдиту показувати свого малого. Там працювали мої товариші. Цей тісний світ українського життя, де всі знайомі персонально або заочно. Невже це в силу нам терпіти і дати їм можливість стерти із записів ці серця.

Evgeniy Maloletka Instagram - VOVCHANSK, Ukraine A city in a fiery pit into which Russian diversion groups are making their way. Covered in smoke from burning houses with the smell of gunpowder in the air. This is not the place to even stop to get out of the car. The photograph does not disguise the sounds and it is difficult to convey the fear that the people who remained there and those who are trying to save them are going through. I can’t believe that this has already happened before and seeing all this I once again catch myself thinking - DEJA VU? War is very treacherous. It seems to me that here we are misleading, that we have let our guard down and made rash movements. #ukraine #russia #war #invasion #kharkiv

Evgeniy Maloletka Instagram - KHARKIV, Ukraine As Russia edges toward a possible offensive on Kharkiv, some residents flee. Others refuse to leave A 79-year-old woman makes the sign of the cross and, gripping her cane, leaves her home in a quaint village in northeast Ukraine. Torn screens, shattered glass and scorched trees litter the yard of Olha Faichuk’s apartment building in Lukiantsi, north of the city of Kharkiv. Abandoned on a nearby bench is a shrapnel-pierced cellphone that belonged to one of two people killed when a Russian bomb struck, leaving a blackened crater in its wake. “God, forgive me for leaving my home, bless me on my way,” Faichuk said, taking one last look around before slowly shuffling to an evacuation vehicle. Unlike embattled front-line villages further east, attacks on the border village near the Russian region of Belgorod, were rare until a wave of air strikes began in late March. Russia seemingly exploited air defense shortages in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, to pummel the region’s energy infrastructure and terrorize its 1.3 million residents. Nearly 200,000 city dwellers remain without power, while 50% of the region’s population still suffers from outages, officials say. As utilities clamber to meet electricity demand before the onset of winter in six months, Russia continues to unleash deadly aerial-glide bombs to drive more residents away. Some officials and analysts warn it could be a concerted effort by Moscow to shape conditions for a summer offensive to seize the city. Acknowledging the need to strengthen air defenses, Oleh Syniehubov, the governor of Kharkiv region, said: “We clearly understand that the enemy actually uses this vulnerability every day.” Kharkiv’s struggles reflect a wider problem: As Western allies drag their feet in delivering promised aid to Kyiv, Moscow is patiently escalating until — it hopes — Ukrainian resistance snaps. #ukraine #russia #invasion #war #kharkiv

Evgeniy Maloletka Instagram - At the Paris Olympics, it will no longer be personal for Ukraine’s athletes. This time, it’s war For Ukrainian hurdler Anna Ryzhykova, each stride on the Paris Olympic track will have meaning far beyond the time she clocks. Her competitions are no longer strictly an individual battle, but war on a different front. Her goal is not just gold, but also to rivet global attention on her country’s fight for survival against Russia. “You’re not doing it for yourself anymore,” she says. “Winning a medal just for yourself, being a champion, realizing your ambitions — it’s inappropriate.” Ukrainian high jumper keeps her eye on the raised bar, but her mind is fixed on the war Kateryna Tabashnyk’s success depends upon utter concentration on the here and now, on the height of the bar in front of her and her body’s ability to leap it. That focus and drive is a requirement for all high-level athletes. But the 30-year-old Ukrainian high jumper’s mind wanders often to her bombarded native city of Kharkiv and the Russian missiles that have stolen so much: her mother, her apartment, a pain-free childhood for her nephew, even the fields where she trained. Part of her is always home, she said, “and when your home has been destroyed, it feels like a large void.” Ukrainian boxer sacrifices Olympic dreams and life to fight against Russia’s invasion Maksym Halinichev won silver at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires in a match described at the time as “two of the best young fighters going for glory.” He considered the bout a loss – it wasn’t gold, after all – but it gave him a map for the future. So Halinichev made plans: He would defeat that boxer the next time around. He would teach his daughter the basics of his sport so she could defend herself. And he would win a medal for Ukraine at the Paris Olympics. He’ll not get to prove that philosophy in the Olympic ring in Paris. Halinichev signed up as a soldier and was killed at the front in March 2023 at age 22, one of more than 400 athletes killed since the outbreak of the war. His body has yet to be recovered.

Evgeniy Maloletka Instagram - At the Paris Olympics, it will no longer be personal for Ukraine’s athletes. This time, it’s war For Ukrainian hurdler Anna Ryzhykova, each stride on the Paris Olympic track will have meaning far beyond the time she clocks. Her competitions are no longer strictly an individual battle, but war on a different front. Her goal is not just gold, but also to rivet global attention on her country’s fight for survival against Russia. “You’re not doing it for yourself anymore,” she says. “Winning a medal just for yourself, being a champion, realizing your ambitions — it’s inappropriate.” Ukrainian high jumper keeps her eye on the raised bar, but her mind is fixed on the war Kateryna Tabashnyk’s success depends upon utter concentration on the here and now, on the height of the bar in front of her and her body’s ability to leap it. That focus and drive is a requirement for all high-level athletes. But the 30-year-old Ukrainian high jumper’s mind wanders often to her bombarded native city of Kharkiv and the Russian missiles that have stolen so much: her mother, her apartment, a pain-free childhood for her nephew, even the fields where she trained. Part of her is always home, she said, “and when your home has been destroyed, it feels like a large void.” Ukrainian boxer sacrifices Olympic dreams and life to fight against Russia’s invasion Maksym Halinichev won silver at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires in a match described at the time as “two of the best young fighters going for glory.” He considered the bout a loss – it wasn’t gold, after all – but it gave him a map for the future.

Evgeniy Maloletka Instagram - “I would give up all the recognition for Russia not killing tens of thousands of my fellow Ukrainians,” said @mstyslav.chernov while accepting the Oscar, which he said is the first in the country’s history. Mstyslav Chernov’s @20daysinmariupol a harrowing first-person account of the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, won the best documentary Oscar on Sunday night. A joint production of @apnews and @frontlinepbs the Oscar — and nomination — was a first for both Chernov, an AP video journalist, and the 178-year-old news organization. This was the third nomination and first win for “Frontline.” Chernov, photographer Evgeniy Maloletka and producer @vasilisastepanenko arrived an hour before Russia began bombing the port city. Two weeks later, they were the last journalists working for an international outlet in the city, sending crucial dispatches to the outside world showing civilian casualties of all ages, the digging of mass graves, the bombing of a maternity hospital and the sheer extent of the devastation. “We can make sure that the history record is set straight and the truth will prevail, and that the people of Mariupol, and those who have given their lives, will never be forgotten. Because cinema forms memories and memories form history.” Chernov ended his speech by switching to his native language, uttering his nation’s salute, “Slava Ukraini,” which means “Glory to Ukraine.” Statuettes were awarded to Chernov, producer and editor @michellemizner and producer @raneyaronson ; AP Vice President @derlmcc is also a credited producer on the film and was among those onstage to accept the award. It’s an honor to be part of large team that worked on the film. 📸 @patrickfallon

Whenever someone returns from captivity, I immediately look to see if it’s him,” Liubov said. 10) Hanna Rudak, 27, sits in her rented apartment while waiting for the return of her husband Andrii in Kyiv. Andrii Rudak, 28, a Ukrainian serviceman disappeared during the fighting in Odradivka, on Oct. 15, 2022. Hanna dreams of Andrii returning to her alive. “You look at Russian Telegram channels, there lies a body, unrecognizable, and you scrutinize it by the uniform, by the hands, by the hair, hoping it’s not him.” @apnews Producer @alexxbabenko #russia #ukraine #war #invasion Camera @fujifilm_ukraine
Evgeniy Maloletka Instagram - UKRAINE, POWER PLANT ATTACK “An Armageddon,” recounting the March 22 attack in which Russia unleashed more than 60 exploding drones and 90 missiles across Ukraine. Officials said it was the most brutal attack on the country’s energy infrastructure since the full-scale invasion. “I wasn’t scared at first, but we got scared when we saw the consequences,” said Taras. The renewed intensity is alarming because of the accuracy and volume of recent strikes, signaling to Ukrainian officials that Russia is armed with better intelligence and fresh tactics in its campaign to annihilate the country’s power generation capacity, and bring its economy to a halt. Moscow also appears to have learned how to most effectively take advantage of Ukraine’s air defense gaps. More such attacks are only inevitable, power workers and analysts said, leaving officials scrambling for ways to defend energy assets. DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy company, lost 80 percent of its power generation capacity in large-scale Russian attacks on March 22 and 29, the company said. Thermal and hydrogen plants were destroyed across the country. Russia targeted transmission networks as well, striking transformers and nodes operated by Ukrenergo, undermining Ukraine’s ability to not only generate electricity but distribute it also. The attacks, which struck thermal and hydro-electric plants, plunged large swathes of the country into darkness, not seen since the first days of the full-scale invasion. They also tested Ukraine’s proven resilience. Armed with western air defense systems, power workers were previously able to recover fairly quickly after attacks and restore power lines. That was not so after March 22. The Kharkiv region, which borders Russia and was the worst-hit, is still suffering from power outages weeks after the strikes. “Power infrastructure is something everything depends on, if there’s no power, nothing works: Plants don’t work, people are left without internet, you won’t even know when the missiles are flying at you.” #ukraine #russia #invasion #war #powerplant

Evgeniy Maloletka Instagram - RUSSIAN PRISONERS OF WAR get to make phone calls home. UKRAINIANS DON’T. FAR WESTERN UKRAINE — Precious few choices are available to Alexander, a 26-year-old Russian soldier, since his capture: Clothes, meals and the hours of his day are rigidly accounted for in the camp for prisoners of war. But Ukraine allows Alexander to call home to his family in Kursk, a Russian city about 60 miles (100 kilometers) from the Ukrainian border, and he says that has kept him grounded. It is a lifeline unavailable to Ukrainian POWs. Now, infuriated Ukrainian families are demanding an end to the phone calls imprisoned Russian soldiers get to make. “To be able to talk to your loved ones is worth a lot. I’ve already been in prison for almost a year. I’m losing my mind,” Alexander told The Associated Press during a recent visit for several news outlets to Ukraine’s main POW camp, as he completed his work shift. “People are not made of steel.” He said the brief conversations, closely monitored by his Ukrainian captors, pulled him from the brink of despair – even though for him and all Russian POWs, the calls are growing rarer by the week….

Evgeniy Maloletka Instagram - SUMY, Ukraine Ukraine and Russia exchanged prisoners of war on Friday, each sending back 75 POWs in the first such swap in the past three months. But as well sides swap bodies of their fallen soldiers. Ukraine returned 212 corpses, and Russia — 45. The Ukrainians were returned on several buses that drove into the northern Sumy region. As they disembarked, they shouted joyfully and called their families to tell them they were home. Some knelt and kissed the ground, while many wrapped themselves in yellow-blue flags. They hugged one another, breaking into tears. Many appeared emaciated and poorly dressed. Among those who were returned home to Ukraine on Friday was Roman Onyschuk, an IT worker who joined Ukrainian forces as a volunteer at the start of the Russian invasion. He was captured in March 2022 in the Kharkiv region. “I just want to hear my wife’s voice, my son’s voice. I missed his three birthdays,” he said. In the more than 800 days he spent in captivity, he never communicated with his family and he doesn’t know what city they are in now, he said. “It’s a little bit overwhelming,” Onyschuk added. Dmytro Kantypenko was captured on Snake Island in the Black Sea in the first days of the war. He was among those freed Friday and said he called his mother to tell her he was back in Ukraine. “I’ll be home soon,” he said, wiping away his tears. He learned that his wife had fled to Lithuania with their son. The Kantypenko family is from Izium in the Kharkiv region, which survived Russian occupation. Kantypenko said the Russians woke him up in the middle of the night without any explanation, giving him a short time to change his clothes before they were on their way. Ukrainians with blue and yellow flags took to the streets and loudly welcomed their defenders home. Text @h_arhirova #ukraine #russia #invasion #pow

Dmytro Kantypenko was captured on Snake Island in the Black Sea in the first days of the war. He was among those freed Friday and said he called his mother to tell her he was back in Ukraine. “I’ll be home soon,” he said, wiping away his tears. He learned that his wife had fled to Lithuania with their son. The Kantypenko family is from Izium in the Kharkiv region, which survived Russian occupation. Kantypenko said the Russians woke him up in the middle of the night without any explanation, giving him a short time to change his clothes before they were on their way. Ukrainians with blue and yellow flags took to the streets and loudly welcomed their defenders home. Text @h_arhirova #ukraine #russia #invasion #pow
Evgeniy Maloletka Instagram - SUMY, Ukraine Ukraine and Russia exchanged prisoners of war on Friday, each sending back 75 POWs in the first such swap in the past three months. But as well sides swap bodies of their fallen soldiers. Ukraine returned 212 corpses, and Russia — 45. The Ukrainians were returned on several buses that drove into the northern Sumy region. As they disembarked, they shouted joyfully and called their families to tell them they were home. Some knelt and kissed the ground, while many wrapped themselves in yellow-blue flags. They hugged one another, breaking into tears. Many appeared emaciated and poorly dressed. Among those who were returned home to Ukraine on Friday was Roman Onyschuk, an IT worker who joined Ukrainian forces as a volunteer at the start of the Russian invasion. He was captured in March 2022 in the Kharkiv region. “I just want to hear my wife’s voice, my son’s voice. I missed his three birthdays,” he said. In the more than 800 days he spent in captivity, he never communicated with his family and he doesn’t know what city they are in now, he said. “It’s a little bit overwhelming,” Onyschuk added.

Likes : 19030Evgeniy Maloletka - 17.7K Likes - VOVCHANSK, Ukraine Ukrainian officials haven’t officially confirmed whether Russian had taken the villages, which lie in a contested “gray zone” on the border of Ukraine’s Kharkiv region and Russia. The renewed assault on the region has forced more than 1,700 civilians residing in settlements near the fighting to flee, according to Ukrainian authorities. It comes after Russia stepped up attacks in March targeting energy infrastructure and settlements, which analysts predicted were a concerted effort by Moscow to shape conditions for an offensive. Today us accompanied an evacuation team described empty streets with multiple buildings destroyed and others on fire. The road was littered with newly made craters and the city was covered in dust and shrapnel with the smell of gunpowder heavy in the air. Mushroom clouds of smoke rose across the skyline as Russian jets conducted multiple airstrikes. “In the current moment, the situation in Vovchansk and the settlements along the border (with Russia) is incredibly difficult. Constant aviation strikes are carried out, multiple rocket missile systems strikes, artillery strikes,” said Tamaz Hambarashvili, the head of Vovchansk City Military Administration. “For the second day in a row, we evacuate all the inhabitants of our community who are willing to evacuate.” “I think that they are destroying the city to make (local) people leave, to make sure there are no militaries, nobody. To create a ‘gray zone,’” Hambarashvili said. Evacuees bade tearful goodbyes to their neighbors as they were taken away from their homes. “You lie down and think — whether they will kill you now, or in an hour, or in three,” said resident Valentyna Hrevnova, 75. “I hope that they (Russians) will not come, but ours (Ukrainians) will be here.” Vera Rudko, 72, was among those who left. “We drove through Vovchansk in the city center,” Rudko said. “I can’t look at this without tears. Everything is trembling. We didn’t sleep these two nights at all.” #ukraine #russia #war #invasion

The road was littered with newly made craters and the city was covered in dust and shrapnel with the smell of gunpowder heavy in the air. Mushroom clouds of smoke rose across the skyline as Russian jets conducted multiple airstrikes. “In the current moment, the situation in Vovchansk and the settlements along the border (with Russia) is incredibly difficult. Constant aviation strikes are carried out, multiple rocket missile systems strikes, artillery strikes,” said Tamaz Hambarashvili, the head of Vovchansk City Military Administration. “For the second day in a row, we evacuate all the inhabitants of our community who are willing to evacuate.” “I think that they are destroying the city to make (local) people leave, to make sure there are no militaries, nobody. To create a ‘gray zone,’” Hambarashvili said. Evacuees bade tearful goodbyes to their neighbors as they were taken away from their homes. “You lie down and think — whether they will kill you now, or in an hour, or in three,” said resident Valentyna Hrevnova, 75. “I hope that they (Russians) will not come, but ours (Ukrainians) will be here.” Vera Rudko, 72, was among those who left. “We drove through Vovchansk in the city center,” Rudko said. “I can’t look at this without tears. Everything is trembling. We didn’t sleep these two nights at all.” #ukraine #russia #war #invasion

The photograph does not disguise the sounds and it is difficult to convey the fear that the people who remained there and those who are trying to save them are going through. I can’t believe that this has already happened before and seeing all this I once again catch myself thinking - DEJA VU? War is very treacherous.

The photograph does not disguise the sounds and it is difficult to convey the fear that the people who remained there and those who are trying to save them are going through. I can’t believe that this has already happened before and seeing all this I once again catch myself thinking - DEJA VU? War is very treacherous. It seems to me that here we are misleading, that we have let our guard down and made rash movements. #ukraine #russia #war #invasion #kharkiv

Others refuse to leave A 79-year-old woman makes the sign of the cross and, gripping her cane, leaves her home in a quaint village in northeast Ukraine. Torn screens, shattered glass and scorched trees litter the yard of Olha Faichuk’s apartment building in Lukiantsi, north of the city of Kharkiv. Abandoned on a nearby bench is a shrapnel-pierced cellphone that belonged to one of two people killed when a Russian bomb struck, leaving a blackened crater in its wake. “God, forgive me for leaving my home, bless me on my way,” Faichuk said, taking one last look around before slowly shuffling to an evacuation vehicle. Unlike embattled front-line villages further east, attacks on the border village near the Russian region of Belgorod, were rare until a wave of air strikes began in late March. Russia seemingly exploited air defense shortages in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, to pummel the region’s energy infrastructure and terrorize its 1.3 million residents. Nearly 200,000 city dwellers remain without power, while 50% of the region’s population still suffers from outages, officials say. As utilities clamber to meet electricity demand before the onset of winter in six months, Russia continues to unleash deadly aerial-glide bombs to drive more residents away. Some officials and analysts warn it could be a concerted effort by Moscow to shape conditions for a summer offensive to seize the city. Acknowledging the need to strengthen air defenses, Oleh Syniehubov, the governor of Kharkiv region, said: “We clearly understand that the enemy actually uses this vulnerability every day.” Kharkiv’s struggles reflect a wider problem: As Western allies drag their feet in delivering promised aid to Kyiv, Moscow is patiently escalating until — it hopes — Ukrainian resistance snaps. #ukraine #russia #invasion #war #kharkiv

Abandoned on a nearby bench is a shrapnel-pierced cellphone that belonged to one of two people killed when a Russian bomb struck, leaving a blackened crater in its wake. “God, forgive me for leaving my home, bless me on my way,” Faichuk said, taking one last look around before slowly shuffling to an evacuation vehicle. Unlike embattled front-line villages further east, attacks on the border village near the Russian region of Belgorod, were rare until a wave of air strikes began in late March. Russia seemingly exploited air defense shortages in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, to pummel the region’s energy infrastructure and terrorize its 1.3 million residents. Nearly 200,000 city dwellers remain without power, while 50% of the region’s population still suffers from outages, officials say. As utilities clamber to meet electricity demand before the onset of winter in six months, Russia continues to unleash deadly aerial-glide bombs to drive more residents away. Some officials and analysts warn it could be a concerted effort by Moscow to shape conditions for a summer offensive to seize the city. Acknowledging the need to strengthen air defenses, Oleh Syniehubov, the governor of Kharkiv region, said: “We clearly understand that the enemy actually uses this vulnerability every day.” Kharkiv’s struggles reflect a wider problem: As Western allies drag their feet in delivering promised aid to Kyiv, Moscow is patiently escalating until — it hopes — Ukrainian resistance snaps. #ukraine #russia #invasion #war #kharkiv

This time, it’s war For Ukrainian hurdler Anna Ryzhykova, each stride on the Paris Olympic track will have meaning far beyond the time she clocks. Her competitions are no longer strictly an individual battle, but war on a different front. Her goal is not just gold, but also to rivet global attention on her country’s fight for survival against Russia. “You’re not doing it for yourself anymore,” she says. “Winning a medal just for yourself, being a champion, realizing your ambitions — it’s inappropriate.” Ukrainian high jumper keeps her eye on the raised bar, but her mind is fixed on the war Kateryna Tabashnyk’s success depends upon utter concentration on the here and now, on the height of the bar in front of her and her body’s ability to leap it. That focus and drive is a requirement for all high-level athletes. But the 30-year-old Ukrainian high jumper’s mind wanders often to her bombarded native city of Kharkiv and the Russian missiles that have stolen so much: her mother, her apartment, a pain-free childhood for her nephew, even the fields where she trained. Part of her is always home, she said, “and when your home has been destroyed, it feels like a large void.” Ukrainian boxer sacrifices Olympic dreams and life to fight against Russia’s invasion Maksym Halinichev won silver at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires in a match described at the time as “two of the best young fighters going for glory.” He considered the bout a loss – it wasn’t gold, after all – but it gave him a map for the future. So Halinichev made plans: He would defeat that boxer the next time around. He would teach his daughter the basics of his sport so she could defend herself. And he would win a medal for Ukraine at the Paris Olympics. He’ll not get to prove that philosophy in the Olympic ring in Paris. Halinichev signed up as a soldier and was killed at the front in March 2023 at age 22, one of more than 400 athletes killed since the outbreak of the war. His body has yet to be recovered.

Halinichev signed up as a soldier and was killed at the front in March 2023 at age 22, one of more than 400 athletes killed since the outbreak of the war. His body has yet to be recovered.

Caption : At the Paris Olympics, it will no longer be personal for Ukraine’s athletes. This time, it’s war For Ukrainian hurdler Anna Ryzhykova, each stride on the Paris Olympic track will have meaning far beyond the time she clocks. Her competitions are no longer strictly an individual battle, but war on a different front. Her goal is not just gold, but also to rivet global attention on her country’s fight for survival against Russia. “You’re not doing it for yourself anymore,” she says. “Winning a medal just for yourself, being a champion, realizing your ambitions — it’s inappropriate.” Ukrainian high jumper keeps her eye on the raised bar, but her mind is fixed on the war Kateryna Tabashnyk’s success depends upon utter concentration on the here and now, on the height of the bar in front of her and her body’s ability to leap it. That focus and drive is a requirement for all high-level athletes. But the 30-year-old Ukrainian high jumper’s mind wanders often to her bombarded native city of Kharkiv and the Russian missiles that have stolen so much: her mother, her apartment, a pain-free childhood for her nephew, even the fields where she trained. Part of her is always home, she said, “and when your home has been destroyed, it feels like a large void.” Ukrainian boxer sacrifices Olympic dreams and life to fight against Russia’s invasion Maksym Halinichev won silver at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires in a match described at the time as “two of the best young fighters going for glory.” He considered the bout a loss – it wasn’t gold, after all – but it gave him a map for the future. So Halinichev made plans: He would defeat that boxer the next time around. He would teach his daughter the basics of his sport so she could defend herself.

Mstyslav Chernov’s @20daysinmariupol a harrowing first-person account of the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, won the best documentary Oscar on Sunday night. A joint production of @apnews and @frontlinepbs the Oscar — and nomination — was a first for both Chernov, an AP video journalist, and the 178-year-old news organization. This was the third nomination and first win for “Frontline.” Chernov, photographer Evgeniy Maloletka and producer @vasilisastepanenko arrived an hour before Russia began bombing the port city. Two weeks later, they were the last journalists working for an international outlet in the city, sending crucial dispatches to the outside world showing civilian casualties of all ages, the digging of mass graves, the bombing of a maternity hospital and the sheer extent of the devastation. “We can make sure that the history record is set straight and the truth will prevail, and that the people of Mariupol, and those who have given their lives, will never be forgotten. Because cinema forms memories and memories form history.” Chernov ended his speech by switching to his native language, uttering his nation’s salute, “Slava Ukraini,” which means “Glory to Ukraine.” Statuettes were awarded to Chernov, producer and editor @michellemizner and producer @raneyaronson ; AP Vice President @derlmcc is also a credited producer on the film and was among those onstage to accept the award.

Likes : 10628Evgeniy Maloletka - 10.4K Likes - UKRAINE, POWER PLANT ATTACK “An Armageddon,” recounting the March 22 attack in which Russia unleashed more than 60 exploding drones and 90 missiles across Ukraine. Officials said it was the most brutal attack on the country’s energy infrastructure since the full-scale invasion. “I wasn’t scared at first, but we got scared when we saw the consequences,” said Taras. The renewed intensity is alarming because of the accuracy and volume of recent strikes, signaling to Ukrainian officials that Russia is armed with better intelligence and fresh tactics in its campaign to annihilate the country’s power generation capacity, and bring its economy to a halt. Moscow also appears to have learned how to most effectively take advantage of Ukraine’s air defense gaps. More such attacks are only inevitable, power workers and analysts said, leaving officials scrambling for ways to defend energy assets. DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy company, lost 80 percent of its power generation capacity in large-scale Russian attacks on March 22 and 29, the company said. Thermal and hydrogen plants were destroyed across the country. Russia targeted transmission networks as well, striking transformers and nodes operated by Ukrenergo, undermining Ukraine’s ability to not only generate electricity but distribute it also. The attacks, which struck thermal and hydro-electric plants, plunged large swathes of the country into darkness, not seen since the first days of the full-scale invasion. They also tested Ukraine’s proven resilience. Armed with western air defense systems, power workers were previously able to recover fairly quickly after attacks and restore power lines. That was not so after March 22. The Kharkiv region, which borders Russia and was the worst-hit, is still suffering from power outages weeks after the strikes. “Power infrastructure is something everything depends on, if there’s no power, nothing works: Plants don’t work, people are left without internet, you won’t even know when the missiles are flying at you.” #ukraine #russia #invasion #war #powerplant

Caption : UKRAINE, POWER PLANT ATTACK “An Armageddon,” recounting the March 22 attack in which Russia unleashed more than 60 exploding drones and 90 missiles across Ukraine. Officials said it was the most brutal attack on the country’s energy infrastructure since the full-scale invasion. “I wasn’t scared at first, but we got scared when we saw the consequences,” said Taras. The renewed intensity is alarming because of the accuracy and volume of recent strikes, signaling to Ukrainian officials that Russia is armed with better intelligence and fresh tactics in its campaign to annihilate the country’s power generation capacity, and bring its economy to a halt. Moscow also appears to have learned how to most effectively take advantage of Ukraine’s air defense gaps. More such attacks are only inevitable, power workers and analysts said, leaving officials scrambling for ways to defend energy assets. DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy company, lost 80 percent of its power generation capacity in large-scale Russian attacks on March 22 and 29, the company said. Thermal and hydrogen plants were destroyed across the country. Russia targeted transmission networks as well, striking transformers and nodes operated by Ukrenergo, undermining Ukraine’s ability to not only generate electricity but distribute it also. The attacks, which struck thermal and hydro-electric plants, plunged large swathes of the country into darkness, not seen since the first days of the full-scale invasion. They also tested Ukraine’s proven resilience. Armed with western air defense systems, power workers were previously able to recover fairly quickly after attacks and restore power lines. That was not so after March 22.

I’m losing my mind,” Alexander told The Associated Press during a recent visit for several news outlets to Ukraine’s main POW camp, as he completed his work shift. “People are not made of steel.” He said the brief conversations, closely monitored by his Ukrainian captors, pulled him from the brink of despair – even though for him and all Russian POWs, the calls are growing rarer by the week….

FAR WESTERN UKRAINE — Precious few choices are available to Alexander, a 26-year-old Russian soldier, since his capture: Clothes, meals and the hours of his day are rigidly accounted for in the camp for prisoners of war. But Ukraine allows Alexander to call home to his family in Kursk, a Russian city about 60 miles (100 kilometers) from the Ukrainian border, and he says that has kept him grounded. It is a lifeline unavailable to Ukrainian POWs.

But as well sides swap bodies of their fallen soldiers. Ukraine returned 212 corpses, and Russia — 45. The Ukrainians were returned on several buses that drove into the northern Sumy region. As they disembarked, they shouted joyfully and called their families to tell them they were home. Some knelt and kissed the ground, while many wrapped themselves in yellow-blue flags. They hugged one another, breaking into tears. Many appeared emaciated and poorly dressed. Among those who were returned home to Ukraine on Friday was Roman Onyschuk, an IT worker who joined Ukrainian forces as a volunteer at the start of the Russian invasion. He was captured in March 2022 in the Kharkiv region. “I just want to hear my wife’s voice, my son’s voice. I missed his three birthdays,” he said. In the more than 800 days he spent in captivity, he never communicated with his family and he doesn’t know what city they are in now, he said. “It’s a little bit overwhelming,” Onyschuk added. Dmytro Kantypenko was captured on Snake Island in the Black Sea in the first days of the war. He was among those freed Friday and said he called his mother to tell her he was back in Ukraine. “I’ll be home soon,” he said, wiping away his tears. He learned that his wife had fled to Lithuania with their son. The Kantypenko family is from Izium in the Kharkiv region, which survived Russian occupation. Kantypenko said the Russians woke him up in the middle of the night without any explanation, giving him a short time to change his clothes before they were on their way. Ukrainians with blue and yellow flags took to the streets and loudly welcomed their defenders home. Text @h_arhirova #ukraine #russia #invasion #pow
