A collection of more than 360 pictures and witness accounts by ninety photojournalists from twenty-nine countries, brought together to present their firsthand testimony of the Russian invasion of Ukraine from the point of view of those tasked with documenting it. The reportages cover the conflict, the humanitarian catastrophe and the war crimes investigations, revealing both the indiscriminate violence of the assault and the displacement of millions of people, and the experience of the reporters themselves at work. Often among the first to enter liberated villages, they tell intimate stories of survivors and witnesses to atrocities, drawing a sweeping account of the destruction and of the civilian toll.
