A woman crying in front of a destroyed apartment. Bodies thrown into a mass grave. A pregnant woman on a stretcher outside of a bombed maternity hospital; she will die soon after the photo is taken.

The images from the onset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine shocked the world last spring, showing the gruesome realities of the war and sending aid surging to Ukraine. More images came as the devastation spread to cities whose names the world quickly learned — Mariupol, Kharkiv, Kyiv and Bucha — as media coverage persisted to give the world a clear picture of the onslaught.

That work has won the photography staff of The Associated Press the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News coverage “for unique and urgent images from the first weeks of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, including the devastation of Mariupol after other news organizations left, victims of Russian targeting of civilian infrastructure and the resilience of the Ukrainian people who were able to flee,” the Pulitzer Board’s citation reads.

Keep reading to see the images from the AP’s winning Pulitzer entry, including images from AP photographers Felipe Dana, Evgeniy Maloletka, Emilio Morenatti, Vadim Ghirda, Rodrigo Abd, Nariman El-Mofty and Bernat Armangue.
