Guillaume Herbaut / Ukraine Terre désirée

The Roots of a Conflict Through 20 Years of Reporting

Guillaume Herbaut presents a long-term project: twenty years of reporting in Ukraine, for which he received the prestigious World Press Photo award in March 2022. Guillaume Herbaut witnessed the extraordinary evolution of this country from the Orange Revolution and the Maidan revolution, through the annexation of Crimea and the war in Donbass since 2014, to the Russian invasion. Above all, he testifies to the incredible resilience of a people fighting for their freedom.

His work reflects an intimacy shaped by his numerous encounters, meticulously documented in a journal kept over the years. This magnificent author's work sheds light on the roots of a conflict stemming from Vladimir Putin's hegemonic madness.

In her introduction, Galia Ackerman, historian, journalist, and essayist specializing in Ukraine, offers a perspective on Guillaume Herbaut's work and firmly dismantles the lies of Russian propaganda.
