Sergei Grits

Sergei Grits is an Associated Press (AP) photographer based in Kyiv, Ukraine. He is currently newsworthy because his photographs are being used by the AP to document the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, specifically the aftermath of Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv suburbs. Recent events include his capturing images of firefighters extinguishing a fire in a residential building struck by a drone on February 22, 2026. These images are relevant as they provide visual documentation of the impact of the war on civilian areas and are disseminated globally by the AP, contributing to public awareness and understanding of the situation in Ukraine. It is important to note that Sergei Grits is distinct from the individual mentioned in the Swedish news article concerning alleged pimping and sexual assault.
