An open-air photo exhibition has opened in Odesa, where photos of Ukrainian authors about Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine have been collected. On the day of the funeral, a 10-year-old boy visited the grave of his father, who died defending Irpin from Russian troops. The wreckage of Russian vehicles left near Kyiv is becoming a roadside attraction for many people passing by.

Russian troops broke into the Azovstal plant in Mariupol, but a humanitarian corridor has been secured and civilians have begun to be evacuated to Zaporizhzhia. The evacuation of people from other occupied cities in Slobozhanshchyna is also ongoing. The United States continues to supply Ukraine with weapons, which are already being used to defend against the occupiers. Servicemen and women, in the armed forces and volunteer battalions, continue to courageously defend Ukrainian independence.
