An elderly woman holding a crutch, together with her dogs, walks past a damaged residential building by Russian air strikes, amid the Russian invasion, in Borodyanka, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine, on 7 April, 2022.

Liberated after Ukrainian counterattacks on the Russian forces in late March, many people in the town are said to have been buried in the wreckage of collapsed buildings, as search and rescue operations have been underway since early April.

This elderly woman is one of the few people who survived continued, tense Russian bombardment and airstrikes during March 2022.
