Marian Kamensky, Austria
The cartoon depicts two men, one shirtless and one in a suit, walking arm in arm toward a Russian-style castle labeled Riviera Bucha. Red waves separate the structure from a foreground littered with bodies, a bicycle, animals, and debris. Flags bearing Z and T fly on either side. The image references the Bucha massacre and ongoing Russia Ukraine tensions through its visual elements and title.
Memorial candles mark civilian deaths in Ukraine war
Daryl Cagle, CagleCartoons.com
A line of burning candles of varying heights stands against a dark, smoky background above a pale lower field. The image responds to reports of civilian deaths and alleged atrocities in Ukrainian cities including Bucha, Borodyanka and Mariupol during the Russian invasion that began in February 2022. By April 2022, international attention had focused on mass graves and civilian casualties uncovered after Russian forces withdrew from areas near Kyiv. The candles evoke traditional memorials for the dead while the uneven heights and melting wax suggest the scale and ongoing nature of the losses. No text appears on the candles themselves.
