Nikopol’ — Less than 24 hours ago, I documented the destruction of the Prybuzke town hall on these pages. While I was writing that article, Russian aircraft were destroying two others: in Pryluky and Novhorod-Siverskyj. The images of those ruins that I captured with Alla Perdei were just being uploaded to “La Ragione’s” YouTube channel when, yesterday morning around 8:20 a.m., Russian military drone strikes also targeted a civilian busparked at a bus stop in Nikopol’, killing four people and seriously wounding 16 others.

Aimed at a train loaded with civilians, a Russian drone killed one passengerin the Kryvorizkyj district of this oblast’ and wounded 10. Also here in Nikopol’, later in the afternoon, they targeted another public bus, wounding five civilians, and then a minibus serving an interurban route in the nearby community of Chervonohryhorivka, massacring a woman and four men. In recent days, in this area, they cynically attacked the Nikopol’ market, killing five civilians and wounding 28 others.
Between the two attacks, around 9:30 a.m., the Russian Armed Forces again targeted Novhorod-Siverskyj, striking the state tax office with a drone. Terrorists of the same nature bombed the Korabelnyj district of Kherson on the opposite side of the country, killing three civilians and hospitalizing two others in critical condition.
The Russian Air Force dropped a guided aerial glide bomb on the town of Kramatorsk, killing three people and wounding seven others. Among the victims was a 13-year-old boy.
In an attack on the heart of Kharkiv, the Russians launched a swarm of high-explosive drones at a busy shopping mall in Kyivsky District, causing a still-incalculable death toll — including children. In the Kholodnohorsky and Novobavarsky Districts, they targeted a series of houses and other multi-story residential buildings, wounding seven civilians, including several elderly people and a 15-year-old girl.
Following further drone strikes, remote-control attackers hired by the Russian regime killed three civilians and wounded 13, selectively targeting civilian targets in Khutir-Mykholaivsky, Velykopysarivka, Esman, Vorozhba, and Khotin. Also in the Sumy Oblast’, Russian occupiers took hostage and abducted 19 residents of another border village in addition to Hrabivske (where they had kidnapped about fifty): Sopich, in the community of Esman.

The images I received from relatives and friends in those areas are just as horrifying as those I sent them from Nikopol’, and putting them into words would be disrespectful to the places and people with whom I shared unforgettable moments. May the video reports that Alla Perdei and I have provided to readers of “La Ragione” from each of them be enough evidence of their decay over time.
What has been described is only the epilogue of a massacre of civilians that in the last seven days alone has seen the Russians strike in broad daylight on the maternity hospitals of Ivano-Frankivsk (two victims, including a 6-year-old boy), the Church of St. Andrew in Lviv (22 victims and damage to a 17th-century monument part of a UNESCO World Heritage site), the central parkof Vinnytsia (1 dead and 11 injured), and a perinatal center in Transcarpathia, where they killed a father and his 15-year-old daughter who had gone to visit his wife, who had given birth only minutes earlier.
Meanwhile, it’s snowing in Ukraine, and another cold snap will hit the entire country. It’s worth remembering, for the fifth year in a row, this has happened in late April, since from the comfort of Italian television studios, some ‘journalists’ denied just this time in 2022 that the corpses of other civilians massacred by the Russians in Bucha could be preserved.
It’s no less important to remember that, given all this, the European Commission has urged EU countries to stockpile gas, explaining that «a delay could trigger fierce competition for resources and an abnormal price increase as early as this summer». This has so far resulted in yet another record in Russian LNG exports to Europe, which — according to preliminary data from LSEG released Wednesday — increased by 17% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the (already record) previous year, reaching 4.8 million tons.
These volumes are being converted into missiles in Moscow, and therefore into Ukrainian blood.

In 1.500 days of war, we recorded over 250 videos from ground zero and wrote more than 1,500 articles.
We are doing our best to provide genuine, first-hand reports from zones where almost no press dares to go. This means living in a kill zone constantly. We take the risk, but without your invaluable support, our voices would remain unheard and silent. Without brave people sharing our articles from afar, they would remain unread. Our reports would go unseen, and our efforts would be lost. There’s still a lot of work to do here, as the people around us are also in no better situation.
We’re renewing our fundraising campaign and thanking everyone who joins us in helping to restore what Russia is destroying. Moving forward with only a small reimbursement for each article from a brave newspaper that believes in us is extremely challenging. That’s why we are grateful to all the kind people who support us and trust in our mission.
Even a small donation helps.
We’ll keep you updated on developments.
Thank you all, dear friends

烏克蘭前線報道

沒有攝製隊,隻有勇敢之手在記錄。
尼科波爾——不到24小時前,我在這裏記錄了普裏布茲克鎮政廳被摧毀的情況。當我撰寫那篇文章時,俄軍戰機又摧毀了另外兩座鎮政廳:分別在普魯盧基和諾夫霍羅德-西弗斯基。我與阿拉·佩爾代伊一起拍下的那些廢墟畫麵正上傳到《La Ragione》的YouTube頻道時,就在昨日上午約8:20,俄軍無人機又襲中了停在尼科波爾車站的一輛民用公車,造成4人死亡、16人重傷。

一架俄軍無人機襲擊了一列載有平民的列車,在該州克裏沃裏日區造成1名乘客死亡、10人受傷。當天稍晚,尼科波爾又遭襲擊,俄軍襲擊了另一輛公共巴士,造成5名平民受傷;隨後又襲擊了附近的切爾沃諾格裏霍裏夫卡的一輛城際小巴,殺害了一名女性和四名男性。近幾日內,俄軍還無情襲擊了尼科波爾市場,造成5名平民死亡、28人受傷。

上述兩次襲擊之間,約9:30,俄軍再次襲擊了諾夫霍羅德-西弗斯基,用無人機轟炸了國家稅務局。還是這群俄羅斯恐怖分子還轟炸了遠在烏克蘭另一側的赫爾鬆科拉貝利尼區,造成3名平民死亡、2人危重入院。

俄空軍向克拉馬托爾斯克投下一枚製導滑翔炸彈,造成三人死亡七人受傷,其中包括一名13歲男孩。
在對哈爾科夫市中心的襲擊中,俄軍向基輔區一處繁忙購物中心投放了成群的高爆無人機攻擊,死亡人數尚無法統計——其中包括兒童。在霍洛多尼霍爾斯基和諾沃巴瓦爾斯基區,俄軍還襲擊了一係列民宅及多層住宅樓,造成七名平民受傷,其中包括多名老年人和一名15歲少女。

在隨後的一輪無人機打擊中,受俄政權雇傭的遙控襲擊者殺害了3名平民、傷及13人,在胡蒂爾-米科拉伊夫斯基、維利科皮薩裏夫卡、埃斯曼、沃羅茲哈和霍廷等處襲擊的無一例外均為平民。同樣在蘇梅州,俄占者在赫拉比夫斯克綁架約五十人後,又在邊境村莊索皮奇(隸屬埃斯曼社群)劫持並帶走了19名居民作人質。

那些地區的親友發給我的影像,與我從尼科波爾發出的畫麵同樣駭人。用言語去描述它們,對於與我曾共同度過難忘時刻的土地和人們,反而是一種不敬。願我與阿拉從每一個地方為《La Ragione》讀者提供的視頻報道,足以證明這些地區隨時間的衰敗。

上述所述僅是這場屠殺的尾聲。僅在過去七天內,俄軍便在光天化日下襲擊了伊萬-弗蘭科夫斯克的產科醫院(兩名遇難者,其中包括一名6歲男童)、利沃夫的聖安德烈教堂(造成22人傷亡,並損壞一處列入聯合國教科文組織世界遺產的17世紀古跡)、文尼察中央公園(1死11傷),以及外喀爾巴阡的一家圍產中心,襲擊中,他們殺害了一名父親及其 15 歲的女兒,兩人是前來探望剛分娩數分鍾的妻子/母親。

與此同時,烏克蘭正在下雪,另一波寒潮將席卷全境。值得強調的是,這是連續第五年在四月下旬出現降雪;而在意大利安逸的電視演播室中,某些“記者”當初在2022年否認布察慘案中被俄軍屠殺的平民屍體之所以未腐爛,是因為當地寒冷。
同樣重要的是,鑒於當前局勢,歐盟委員會已敦促成員國儲備天然氣,警告說“若延誤,可能在今夏引發資源激烈爭奪和價格異常飆升的局麵”。截至目前,這導致俄羅斯對歐洲的液化天然氣出口創下新紀錄。根據LSEG周三發布的初步數據顯示,2026年第一季度俄羅斯對歐LNG出口較已創紀錄的此前一年增長了17%,達到480萬噸。
這些賣出的能源正被轉化為莫斯科的導彈,繼而轉化為烏克蘭人的鮮血。

在1500天的戰爭中,我們從前線錄製了250多段視頻,並撰寫了1500多篇文章。
我們盡最大努力從幾乎沒有媒體敢進入的地帶進行真實的一手報道,這意味著我們長期生活在“殺傷區”。我們承擔風險,但若沒有你們寶貴的支持,我們的聲音將無從傳出。若沒有遠方的勇敢的人們轉發分享我們的文章,它們將無人問津。我們的報道會被忽視,我們的努力將付諸流水。這裏還有大量工作要做,周圍的人們境況同樣艱難。
我們正在更新籌款活動,感謝每一位加入我們、幫助修複俄羅斯破壞的人們。僅靠一家勇敢的報紙為我們每篇文章支付微薄稿酬以維持前線報道極為困難。因此,我們感激所有支持並信任我們使命的善良人們。
哪怕是小小的捐助也有助益。
我們會持續為你們更新事態進展。
謝謝大家,親愛的朋友們
如果你認可我們的工作,請支持我們
在過去三年裏,自烏克蘭大規模戰爭爆發以來,作為自由撰稿人,我們一直在烏克蘭戰爭的所有前線進行報道…
