Ukrainian photojournalist Evgeniy Maloletka has won the top Visa d'Or award at the International Photography Festival in the southern French city of Perpignan. Maloletka, who was honoured for his work during the Russian siege of Mariupol, dedicated his prize to the Ukrainian people.
The 35-year-old journalist, who works for the Associated Press news agency, was one of the first reporters to enter Mariupol on 23 February, an hour before the first Russian bombs fell.
