Photographers from different countries cover the Ukraine war through the optics of their cameras in the Eyes of War project. How did the war affect them, how did they prepare for the dangerous trip that could have been their last, and what stories lie underneath their pictures? Find out answers to these questions and more in the new video.
The 21st century wars are the most documented and covered events in history.
Rafael Yaghobzadeh is a French photojournalist who has travelled to many active combat zones. In February 2022, he went to Ukraine. He saw Kharkiv, Kherson, and Chernobyl with his own eyes and continues to visit Bucha every month.
In 2014 and then later in 2022, hundreds of photojournalists from across the world headed to the Ukraine war to record these events for history and for a trial in The Hague.
