This week in Ukraine, Russian airstrikes devastated Odesa and Kherson, killing civilians and destroying homes. Along the eastern front, Ukrainian forces held ground in Pokrovsk, Toretsk, and Kupyansk amid heavy fighting. As the war grinds on, soldiers return home as veterans, medics work to stabilize the wounded, and young Ukrainians march through Kyiv — all captured in powerful images.

MAR 15 — Kherson under Russian fire yet again. A night of KAB strikes tears through the city. One Russian bomb hits a home, killing a man. Three others are wounded in separate attacks. For days, Russia has relentlessly bombarded Kherson — air strikes, artillery, FPV drones, and Mavics hunt civilians. (Photo by Ivan Antypenko @ivan_antypenko)
