It was -10° and windy at the wall of heroes in Ivano-Frankivsk. As in all towns and cities across Ukraine it goes on forever - an incalculable loss 💔 🇺🇦

“despite these lethal adjustments it makes little economic sense for Kyiv to use the capital’s US Patriot air defences to shoot down the drones at a cost of $4 million per missile. Instead… part-time volunteers armed with antique guns to keep the Shaheds at bay” www.thetimes.com/world/russia...

I took a lot of photos in 2024 that I’m proud of. This is one that keeps popping up. Taken outside Izium at the highest point in Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. 🇺🇦

One month from prototype to striking Russian positions at the front, with no previous defense experience. A key Ukrainian advantage continues to be its ability to innovate faster. 🇺🇦 💪🏼 “Ukraine Bets a Free Market for Weapons Production Can Out-Innovate Russia” www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Tough, brilliant speech today by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte reminiscent of Churchill’s 1936 speech in the House of Commons. Let’s hope the West heeds Rutte’s call for unity and strength against Russia even at this late hour. Starting at 9:30 www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPXZ...

Republicans already lying that this pardon was about Joe and Ukraine when Hunter’s criminal case had nothing to do with those charges which could never be proven, while legacy media and Never Trumpers are too preoccupied clutching their pearls to set the record straight on that.

I took this shot of Joe Biden and Hunter in front of the White House after Obama’s first inauguration. Beau was there, too. Better days.

That's a wrap on Katya Rybka’s short film, ”Cleared for Takeoff”! Despite the many challenges of filming in Kyiv during wartime, we had a successful shoot thanks to the experience and hard work of our cast and crew and the generosity of our supporters. Thank you all who have helped make it happen🇺🇦🎥💪🏼

Remember when Russia targeted and bombed a children’s cancer hospital in Kyiv on July 8? Killing over 40 and wounding 150+ more? Don’t fall for Russia’s misplaced talk of escalation - this evil must be defeated. Russia is a terrorist state. 📸 Anton Shtuka / AP

Some footage I shot this summer in Kharkiv which was under constant attack by Russia. It still is. No Patriot systems to protect this beautiful city and its people. There are little bits of broken glass everywhere from the bombings as people try to live their lives under next level air sirens. 🇺🇦

We used to have a rule: no Christmas music until Thanksgiving night on the drive home. Now it’s: no Christmas music before Labor Day. A reminder that “Carol of the Bells” is originally a Ukrainian tune 🎄 🇺🇦 youtu.be/GqeJ38DThVc?...

The time I hired a backing band that I’d met on the subway a few hours earlier. A cellphone started ringing during one tune and the guy playing accordion stopped to answer it. The audience thought it was part of the act.

A student took this shot of me giving a mobile journalism masterclass at Ukrainian Catholic University’s School of Journalism & Communications last November in Lviv. We had to shelter in the basement during an air alert but kept going. What compositional photo technique is this?
