Pilipey, AFP’s Photo Coordinator in Ukraine, received an honourable mention and secured first place in the General News category. He also won second place in the Feature Picture Story category. “I am deeply honoured to be awarded alongside many talented colleagues […]. Sadly, these awards cannot stop the Russian invasion, but they give me another chance to remind the world of what millions of Ukrainians face every day during the brutal Russian full-scale war in Ukraine,” said Pilipey in a post published on his Instagram account. Tato, AFP’s East Africa Photo Coordinator, won the Best Portfolio award. He also earned third place in the Sports feature category, and second in International Sport News. The work of both photojournalists was also recognised in the Chris Hondros Memorial International News category
