Moments from the Battlefield: The Photographs of Maxim Dondyuk

Content Warning:

Photojournalism is a raw form of media that is meant for the viewer to see real time events through the lens of the camera that are unfiltered, unedited, or manipulated. Photos that show truth, pain, destruction, and hope. Photos serve as a powerful leverage against the grip of oppressive propaganda that attempt to manipulate truth. As such, some of these photos and themes may be disturbing to some viewers. A couple of links listed on this page have themes of violence, death, destruction, and war. These links will have trigger warnings beside them and we ask that you proceed with caution. The war in Ukraine is still ongoing and these photos only depict a fraction of what people in Ukraine continue to experience on a daily basis.
