The week captured in images

The British newspaper The Guardian has published its weekly photo roundup, in which photojournalists from around the world documented the most significant events of the past seven days.

One of the main themes in the collection is Russian strikes on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, which once again featured prominently in photographers' lenses amid the ongoing war.

The roundup also includes images from New York, where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was photographed.

Another topic covered is flooding in Japan, which has affected residents and caused damage across the country.

The selection of photographs also features images from the Asian Games, one of the continent's largest sporting events, bringing together athletes from numerous Asian countries.

In total, the gallery contains 20 photographs reflecting a range of global events — from military conflict and natural disasters to international diplomacy and sport. Such weekly reviews give readers a visual overview of significant developments worldwide, without being limited to a single region or subject.

The Guardian regularly publishes these kinds of photo compilations, bringing together the work of leading photojournalists from different parts of the world and allowing audiences to follow the events that shaped the week's news on an international scale.
