In total, 66 media workers were killed in Ukraine during the 533 days of the full-scale Russian invasion (as of August 11). Ten of them were killed while performing their professional duties: four of them were citizens of Ukraine, six — foreigners who came to cover the Russian-Ukrainian war. 

Another 56 Ukrainian media workers were killed defending the country as combatants and as a result of Russian shelling and torture, according to the Institute of Mass Information. 

Since February 24, 2022, the Russians have committed more than 500 crimes against the media. Journalists regularly come under Russian fire, they are attacked with drones, and the Russians have kidnapped and tortured media workers. 

This exhibition is an expression of solidarity with media workers who are fighting for the truth, risking their lives.
