I’ve created a list of Ukrainian and international photographers who put their life at risk to capture the brutality of the war in Ukraine. Please support these brave photojournalists in any way you can (I linked their Instagram accounts.)

Numbers and ideas can be manipulated but footage and images preserve a raw and uncut reality. Current Ukrainian reality is saturated with the blood of our children (the Russian army killed more than 90 kids!) and the unspeakable suffering of my people who are witnessing how Putin’s soldiers, with the silent support of Russian people, wipe Ukrainian cities off the earth’s surface.

After all, these images will serve as firm proof of the Russian army’s crimes against humanity for international law processes and historical archives.
