Borodyanka, Kyiv region, Ukraine. April 08, 2022: destroyed building after russian occupation

Instead of the city - ruins and garbage dumps: what Borodyanka looks like after the retreat of Russian troops.

Destruction is seen in Borodianka on April 5. Borodianka was home to 13,000 people before the war, but most fled after Russia's invasion. What was left of the town, after intense shelling and devastating airstrikes, was then occupied by Russian forces.
