The FotoEvidence Association, in partnership with the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers (UAPP), launched FotoEvidence Ukraine—an initiative dedicated to supporting Ukrainian photographers and preserving Ukrainian culture. Through the creation of photobooks, this project documents the Russian invasion of Ukraine since 2014, ensuring these visual records reach libraries and schools, safeguarding history for future generations.

“WAR CHRONICLES: UKRAINE 2014–2025” is a product of the FotoEvidence Ukraine initiative. Developed in collaboration with members of UAPP, this photobook responds to the profound challenges posed by the Russian invasion and it is a powerful testimony to a decade of Ukraine’s fight for freedom. The book brings together over 360 photographs and dozens of personal accounts by Ukrainian documentary photographers and photojournalists — from the early days of the Revolution of Dignity in 2014 to the everyday realities of full-scale war. Through their lenses unfolds a chronicle of resistance, loss, dignity, and resilience — a body of work that serves not only as an artistic artifact but also as a crucial historical record.

The book will be distributed to school and public libraries across Ukraine as an educational tool that helps younger generations understand the depth of recent history and connect with living memory. In a time when visual culture has become a weapon, this book stands as a weapon of truth.

This publication has been made possible with the support of the Open Society Foundations and the International Renaissance Foundation.
