War in Ukraine – Volumes 10 & 11 
By Wen Jian Chung & Mykhailo Zhirokhov

The War in Ukraine series continues its in-depth documentation of the largest and most consequential conflict in Europe since 1945. These two volumes explore distinct but critical aspects of the war — the evolution of Ukraine’s artillery capabilities and one of the first and most decisive battles of the full-scale invasion. Drawing on first-hand accounts, field research, and exclusive imagery, they offer authoritative insight into the realities of modern warfare on Europe’s eastern front.

Volume 10 – Ukrainian- & Western-Designed Artillery Systems, 2022–2024
By Wen Jian Chung
Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 marked the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War, which by February 2022 had escalated into a full-scale invasion. Throughout the conflict, artillery has remained the dominant weapon, shaping battles across every front.

This volume examines how Ukraine’s artillery forces evolved from worn-out Soviet-era systems to a new generation of precision weaponry supplied by Western allies. Drawing on extensive research, operational data, and interviews with frontline soldiers, Wen Jian Chung details the introduction and combat performance of towed and self-propelled guns from 2022 to 2024. The study reveals how the Ukrainian Armed Forces transitioned from massed Soviet-style fires to modern precision artillery, transforming the course of the war.
Richly illustrated with original photographs and the @War series’ specially commissioned colour artworks, this is an essential reference for those seeking to understand the technological and tactical evolution of the conflict.

Volume 11 – The Battle of Chernihiv, February–March 2022
By Mykhailo Zhirokhov
When Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, its strategy hinged on a rapid thrust towards Kyiv — with one key axis of advance running along the E95 highway through Chernihiv. What followed was one of the invasion’s most significant early battles.

In this detailed and gripping account, Mykhailo Zhirokhov — who was present in Chernihiv during the fighting — reconstructs the battle through hundreds of interviews with soldiers, officers, and civilians who experienced it firsthand. He analyses the sequence of events that led to the failure of Russia’s northern offensive and the successful Ukrainian defence that helped save Kyiv from encirclement.
Featuring rare, previously unpublished photographs from the author’s own archive, alongside specially commissioned maps and colour artworks, this volume provides a uniquely vivid and human perspective on a decisive moment in modern military history.

Together, these volumes combine technical precision with eyewitness testimony to document both the evolving technology and the lived experience of the War in Ukraine — a vital contribution to understanding Europe’s defining conflict of the 21st century.
