法国摄影记者、为《世界报》供稿的安托尼·拉利坎与顿巴斯有着深厚的渊源。2022年2月俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后，他多次前往该地记录战斗以及因战争而生活被打乱的居民日常。2025年10月3日，拉利坎在37岁时被俄罗斯无人机击中身亡。他在法国北部长大，对该地区的矿区景观、边缘化人群以及点缀地平线的矿渣堆产生了深厚感情。
Antoni Lallican had a deep connection to the Donbas. After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the French photojournalist and contributor to Le Monde, who was killed by a Russian drone on October 3, 2025, at 37, traveled there many times to document the fighting and the daily lives of residents whose routines had been upended by the war. Lallican, who grew up in northern France, became attached to the region's mining landscape, its marginalized population and the slag heaps that dot the horizon.
《乌克兰的太阳升起在顿巴斯》一书以法语、英语和乌克兰语出版，于11月12日发行，旨在致敬他的作品，并为如今几乎完全无法进入、已被摧毁或被俄军占领的城镇和村庄的最后生活时刻提供了宝贵的见证。
The book The Sun of Ukraine Rises Over Donbas, published in French, English and Ukrainian, released on November 12, honors his work and provides invaluable testimony to the last moments of life in towns and villages that are now almost entirely inaccessible, destroyed or occupied by Russian forces.
“如果有人问我战争对人做了什么，我会说看看这些照片，”他的伴侣艾达·贝卢利德在序言中写道。“他们的眼神里有某种东西，大多数人难以察觉。我能认出它，因为它对我也很熟悉：我也在自己的眼中看到了它。”她与摄影记者菲勒蒙·巴比耶和阿德里安·沃蒂耶——拉利坎的两位好友、也是《世界报》的同行供稿人——一起，从拉利坎在顿巴斯报道期间拍摄的4万张照片中，以及他为出书亲自挑选的200张照片中，精选了78张图片。
"If someone asked me what war does to people, I would say to look at these photos," writes his partner, Aïda Belloulid, in the preface. "There is something in their eyes, hard for most people to detect. I recognize it because it is familiar to me: I also see it in my own eyes." Together with photojournalists Philémon Barbier and Adrien Vautier, both friends of Lallican and fellow contributors to Le Monde, she selected 78 images from the 40,000 photographs Lallican took during his reporting in the Donbas, along with the 200 pictures he selected himself in preparation for a book.
这本按时间顺序编排的书见证了莫斯科的毁灭性战役、平民顽强求生的努力，以及乌克兰士兵在俄军推进过程中的抵抗。在2014年战争爆发前，该地区曾以蜂蜜和香槟酒生产闻名。拉利坎走访过的城镇名字此后已变得悲剧性地著名：利西昌斯克、巴赫穆特、托列茨克、恰西夫亚尔、德鲁日基夫卡、波克罗夫斯克。随着前线后撤，每一个城镇相继被吞噬。
This chronologically arranged book bears witness to Moscow's campaign of destruction, the relentless efforts of civilians to survive, and the resistance of Ukrainian soldiers as Russian troops advanced in a region once known for its honey and champagne production before the war began in 2014. The names of the towns Lallican visited have since become tragically famous: Lysychansk, Bakhmut, Toretsk, Chasiv Yar, Druzhkivka, Pokrovsk. As the front line retreated, each one was swallowed up in turn.
