Russian forces fight to capture Ukraine’s eastern bulwark

Women work to reconstruct a damaged fire department from Russian strikes, in Makariv, Kyiv region, Ukraine, Wednesday, June 29, 2022. Many buildings in Makariv were destroyed or partially damaged in the first weeks of the war. The youth volunteer movement 'Building Ukraine Together,' has since 2014 helped restore damaged buildings in eastern Ukraine.

A few months after Russian troops retreated from Yahidne, the village has gradually returned to life. People are repairing their homes, and a strong wind occasionally picks up the bitter smell of ashes.

A few months after Russian troops retreated from Yahidne in the northern Chernihiv region, the village has gradually returned to life. No one in the village yet plans to rebuild the school; they prefer not to mention the place at all. Most of Yahidne's residents — almost 400 people — spent a month in the school's basement.
