Hard-hitting, Graphic Images Record the TB Epidemic in Ukraine
Ukrainian photographer Maxim Dondyuk spent two years in Ukraine documenting the lives and stories of the people who were affected by Tuberculosis, and the people around them. Along with his camera, Dondyuk wove in and out of hospitals, homes, prisons and cemeteries where familiar faces grew thinner and nearly unrecognizable. Dondyuk’s extensive work entitled TB Epidemic in Ukraine (2010-2012), tells the story of a nation facing a serious health crisis, making it one of the most TB-affected countries in Europe and one of the 27 high burden MDR-TB countries in the world according to the World Health Organization.

Ukrainians fight back against Russian propaganda
Prior to the annexation of Crimea, Kremlin-funded TV channels used a pretext of fascism and evoked a humanitarian crisis in order to legitimize Russian President Vladimir Putin’s actions in the region.
