- Mstyslav Chernov's '20 Days in Mariupol,' a harrowing first-person account of the early days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, won the best documentary Oscar on Sunday night.
- Chernov, photographer Evgeniy Maloletka, and producer Vasilisa Stepanenko arrived an hour before Russia began bombing the port city. Two weeks later, they were the last journalists working for an international outlet in the city, sending crucial dispatches to the outside world showing civilian casualties of all ages, the digging of mass graves, the bombing of a maternity hospital, and the sheer extent of the devastation.
- Chernov called on Russia to cease aggression in Ukraine and urged the release of hostages and civilians in their jails.
- The work of Chernov, Maloletka, Stepanenko, and Lori Hinnant won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for public service and was prominently featured in a Pulitzer for breaking news photography that same year.
