Our book, Diario Ucraino, with an introduction by Roberto Saviano, is published today in Italy by Contrasto. It is both our journey into the #war & a demonstration of the power of the camera to document evidence with the most indisputable of testimonies: the image. #Ukraine

A difficult story to write: my piece on how some #Ukrainian men are staying at home, or fleeing across the border, to avoid conscription. "I love my country. But I can't kill," one told me. Another admitted: "I'm afraid to die." With pix by Alessio Mamo theguardian.com/world/article/…

Judges with machine guns: my piece on the part-time drone hunters defending Kyiv from #Russian attacks. With video and photos by ⁦Alessio Mamo⁩ theguardian.com/world/article/…

My The Guardian interview with ⁦Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦. We discuss his gripping new book on the battle for #Kyiv, Russia’s senseless war & how Elon Musk listens to wrong people. ‘I have my iPhone, X and a brain in my head,’ he tells me. Pix ⁦Alessio Mamo⁩ theguardian.com/books/article/…

My piece on Chasiv Yar and the frontline city of Kostiantynivka. Russia is advancing: here, near Avdiivka and in the north-east towards Kharkiv. There are bombs & air attacks. If Chasiv Yar falls, Ukraine's grip on the east weakens. Pix: Alessio Mamo theguardian.com/world/article/…

Exclusive: Members of #Israel’s security forces are tipping off #settlers to the location of #aid trucks delivering supplies to #Gaza, enabling the groups to block & vandalise the convoys. By me & ⁦Quique Kierszenbaum⁩. 📸 ⁦Alessio Mamo⁩. #War #Palestine theguardian.com/world/article/…

The #desert is encroaching across Sicily. By 2030, 1/3 of its territory is at risk of #desertification, comparable to the lands of #Tunisia & #Libya. My latest. 📸 ⁦Alessio Mamo⁩ #Desertification #climateemergency #enviroment #nature theguardian.com/world/article/…

One of the most extraordinary stories I have reported from #Ukraine. In 2023 Russia blew up a dam & destroyed the vast Soviet-era Kakhovka reservoir. Since then nature has come back. Willow trees are 4m tall; sturgeon are swimming again in the Dnipro river theguardian.com/world/article/…

“I’m proud of myself. I feel a new confidence,” Vladyslav said. “If I don’t survive, my kids can at least be proud of me. I want to defend them and my country.” "I'm a person again" - story by Luke Harding with my pics for The Guardian theguardian.com/world/article/…

In non-Biden news we visited Ukrainian convicts let out of jail to fight against Russia. A remarkable story. "I feel a person again," one convicted killer told me, at an army training camp near the frontline. They arrived June. Pictures by Alessio Mamo theguardian.com/world/article/…

We sat down for an exclusive interview with Col Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi, #Ukraine's commander-in-chief. "I know we will win - and how," he said, while acknowledging Russia has a "significant advantage" in soldiers and resources. Also: F-16s, drones, Crimea theguardian.com/world/article/…

"Everything is a target" - my report from the central Ukrainian city of #Dnipro, hit by Russian missiles, lacking air defence and out of power, with generators humming in the streets. Pix by Alessio Mamo & thanks to the city's mayor Борис Філатов theguardian.com/world/article/…

“The sad memories of this anniversary are coming back, and they remind me of my mother’s and grandmothers’ killing in this grave. We didn’t deserve that.” Our dispatch from Sinjar province, Iraq with Marta Bellingreri for The Guardian theguardian.com/world/article/…

My frontline report from Ukraine's east. Russia is still going forward but its advance has slowed in the past two weeks. A bloody battle looms for the city of #Pokrovsk. Surrounding villages are piled with the bodies of Russian soldiers. Pix: Alessio Mamo theguardian.com/world/2024/sep…

Two months ago Valeria sent her daughter Nicole, 7, to live with her mother near Dnipro. “When Nicole was here she was terrified. At night the bombs kept waking her up. Now she’s afraid for us. She pleads with us to get out” By Luke Harding with my 📸 theguardian.com/world/2024/sep…

Here's my dispatch from the under fire Ukrainian city of #Pokrovsk. The Russians are six miles away. There are thunderous booms from artillery. Civilians who escaped the worst of the fighting in the east are now evacuating. Photos by Alessio Mamo theguardian.com/world/2024/sep…
