Faces of loss in Ukraine

  • Prize

  • Photographer
    Hanna Kuzmych, Ukraine

A Russian missile hit a residential building in Kyiv, destroying an entire section. Twenty-three people were killed. One of the photos captures the moment parents were told that their son’s body was recovered from the rubble. The father collapsed to his knees, clutching the ground as if trying to embrace the one he lost. This photo series shows grief without filters. War is not just about numbers - it’s about lives, forever broken. And this is not an isolated tragedy. Similar attacks happen in Ukraine every day.
