<h2><em>Roman Pilipey</em> is a Ukrainian photojournalist based in Kiyv. The first main event he witnessed as a photographer was the <em>Euromaidan</em> revolution in Kyiv, 2013-2014, when Ukraine showed its clear and unmistakable determination to be a part of Europe. It is no coincidence that the invasion and annexation of Crimea by Russian military happened only a few months later. From 2014, Roman was covering the, then still isolated, war in eastern Ukraine, and, in the same year, became the staff photographer for European Pressphoto Agency (EPA). For the next few years, <em>Roman'</em>s focus was mainly on Eastern Ukraine and its aftermath, while also working in other parts of the country. In 2017, <em>Roman</em> relocated to Beijing for EPA where he worked on stories and covered major news events in China, becoming in 2022 the EPA bureau chief for the China region. Throughout his years in China, he has been traveling to almost every corner of the country. For his work in China he was awarded Photographer of the Year, POY Asia 2022. </h2><h2>When the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, <em>Roman</em> had just finished covering the <em>Beijing Olympic Games</em>. He immediately left China and went to his native country to cover the war. Since then he relocated back to Ukraine, where he works on stories of the ongoing war. In early 2023, after eight years in <em>EPA,</em> <em>Roman</em> left the agency. Since then he is actively collaborating with <em>Getty Images</em>, and works as chief photographer for <em>Agence France-Presse (AFP)</em>. In 2023, with his picture from <em>Bucha</em>, which we will discuss in more detail a little later on, he was awarded <em>Pictures of the Year International (POY) Finalist</em> in “<em>War in Ukraine: News</em>” category, and in 2024 Roman was named <em>Photojournalist of the Year, National</em> at the 2024 <a href="https://nppa.org/">National Press Photographers Association</a> <em>(NPPA)</em> in the category <em>Best of Photojournalism</em>. An award he much deserves and I was very happy to see him receive.</h2><p>Having him in the van with us today, we will look at the Russian invasion of Ukraine through the eyes of one its most accomplished chroniclers by discussing a selection of <em>Roman</em>'s images from the last two years. And I am, therefore, incredibly grateful to have him with us today.</p><p>Welcome to the Yellow Van, <em>Roman</em>!</p><p>---</p><p><strong>SHOW NOTES</strong></p><p><strong>Image Gallery<br></strong><a href="https://bit.ly/yellowvanstories"><strong>https://bit.ly/yellowvanstories</strong></a></p><p><strong>Roman on the Web</strong><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/roman.pilipey">https://www.facebook.com/roman.pilipey</a><br><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/roman-pilipey-3a1a2367/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/roman-pilipey-3a1a2367/</a><br><a href="https://x.com/RomanPilipey">https://x.com/RomanPilipey</a></p><p><strong>Ukraine Aid</strong><br><a href="https://www.hospitallers.life/">https://www.hospitallers.life/</a><br><a href="https://prytulafoundation.org/en">https://prytulafoundation.org/en</a><br><a href="https://savelife.in.ua/en/">https://savelife.in.ua/en/</a></p><p>---</p><p><strong>MUSIC</strong><br><a href="https://jimkroft.bigcartel.com/product/love-in-the-face-of-fear"><strong>Love In The Face Of Fear</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="http://www.jimkroft.com/"><strong>Jim Kroft</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/yellowvan"><strong>Support the Show</strong></a></p><p><strong>---</strong></p><p><strong>The Yellow Van on YouTube: </strong><br><a href="https://youtu.be/voAIEy4j4Lc"><strong>https://youtu.be/voAIEy4j4Lc</strong></a></p>

As I am recording this, Mykola, like countless other Ukrainians is waiting for his marching order. It could come any moment of any day. Alex Kraev from Odessa, who you might remember from one of the previous episodes, has already been at the front for almost two months now. In one of his latest Facebook-Posts, he wrote: "I am not dead, I am learning." War becomes something else entirely when you know the people who are thrown into it.</p><p><strong>SHOW NOTES</strong></p><h1><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyvky">Nyvky - a suburb of Kyiv</a><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-2_rocket">V2 Rockets</a><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucha,_Kyiv_Oblast">Bucha</a><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irpin">Irpin</a><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossacks">Cossacks</a><br><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/khokhol">Khokhol</a><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oseledets">Oseledets</a><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmelnytsky_Uprising">Khmelnytsky Uprising</a><br><a href="https://takflix.com/en">Takflix, Ukrainian film streaming service</a><br><a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wladiwostok">Wladiwostok</a></h1><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Loznitsa">Sergei Loznitsa, Ukrainian director</a><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Joy">My Joy, film directed by Sergei Loznitsa</a></p><p><a href="https://www.yellowvanstories.com/alex-kraev-punked/">Link to the episode with Alex Kraev</a></p><p><strong>Mykola Online<br></strong><a href="https://kondrashev.com.ua">Mykola’s Personal website</a><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/kondrashev.mykola">Mykola’s Facebook</a><br><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mykola.kondrashev/">Mykola’s Instagram</a></p><p><strong>Donations<br></strong><a href="https://www.npa-ua.org/donate?lang=en">Civilian: Psychological Association of Ukraine</a><br><a href="https://eyesonukraine.eu/">Military: Eyes On Ukraine, Support for Drones</a></p><p><a href="https://jimkroft.bigcartel.com/product/love-in-the-face-of-fear"><strong>Love In The Face Of Fear</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="http://www.jimkroft.com/"><strong>Jim Kroft</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/yellowvan"><strong>Support the show</strong></a></p><p><strong>Yellow Van Stories is a </strong><a href="https://www.mindthebump.de/"><strong>Mind the Bump</strong></a><strong> Production.</strong></p>
