A Russian military boat was spotted in occupied Berdyansk

A Russian military boat was spotted in the temporarily occupied Berdyansk of the Zaporizhzhia region.

Points of attention

  • A Russian military boat was spotted in occupied Berdyansk, causing indignation and aggravation of the situation in the region.
  • Russia has intensified the movement of vessels in Mariupol; in Ukraine, the fourth tanker of the occupiers is recorded, which may be connected with the launch of missiles of the "Kalibr" type.
  • On the territory of occupied Berdyansk and other cities, explosions are taking place, aimed at the organizers of the "elections" of the Russian Federation and the occupiers.

What is known about the new Russian boat in Berdyansk

The adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andryushchenko, noted that the Mariupol resistance reported that a vessel with an external appearance similar to a military boat was spotted in the Berdyansk port.

According to him, visually it looks like border guards' boats, which were based in Mariupol.

We are trying to find out the details and are continuing our observations, Andryushchenko noted.

What is the situation in Berdyansk?

Russians occupied Berdyansk in February 2022. On June 27, loud explosions rang out over Mariupol, Berdyansk and Melitopol.

Recently Russia has intensified the movement of vessels in Mariupol. So, in Mariupol, the fourth tanker of the occupiers has been captured. It is possible that such activity is connected with the launch of Kalibr-type missiles from the waters of the Sea of Azov.

In addition, there are constant explosions in the city, the targets of which are the locations of the occupiers — equipment and manpower. For example, on March 6, an explosion occurred in the temporarily occupied Berdyansk of the Zaporizhzhia region. One of the organizers of the Russian "elections" was blown up.

Scandal surrounding World Press Photo. Jury apologizes to all Ukrainians

World Press Photo publicly admitted its guilt
Source:  Media detector

The international jury and World Press Photo apologized to the Ukrainian people for combining two incompatible works into one visual pair: "Underground Field Hospital" by Nanna Heitmann and "Beyond the Trenches" by Florian Bachmeier.

Points of attention

  • The acknowledgment of the mistake by the award representatives emphasized the importance of understanding the distinct narratives of each photograph independently.
  • Despite the apology, the controversy continued as the award given to Mikhail Tereshchenko, a photographer from the Russian news agency TASS, was not revoked.

World Press Photo publicly admitted its guilt

What is important to understand is that German photographer Florian Bachmeier showed a six-year-old Ukrainian girl from the Kharkiv region, Angelina, in his photo. She began to suffer from panic attacks due to constant shelling by the Russian army.

This photo was called Beyond the Trenches and, according to the author, "became the emotional center of the European bloc."

To this, a photo by German photographer Nanna Heitmann was unexpectedly added to the visual pair.

Her photo is called Underground Field Hospital — it depicts a wounded "DPR" militant who fought on the side of the Russian army.

After a huge scandal erupted over the combination of these incompatible photos, the award representatives finally officially admitted their mistake.

They stated that there is a clear difference between a child suffering from the effects of war and the torment of a soldier of the occupying forces who causes that suffering.

"We should not have presented these two photographs as a pair, as this implies that they should only be seen and understood in dialogue with each other. This creates an oversimplified and false equivalence and relegates to the background the story that each of them unfolds on its own," said Lucy Conticello, head of the international jury.

Despite this, it is stated that the jury refused to cancel the award received by Mikhail Tereshchenko, a photographer for the Russian news agency TASS.
