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.

Daniel Shou Yi Ceng, 22, is a photojournalist with a focus on conflicts, war and politics. He is currently based in Taipei, Taiwan for several international news agencies, including ZUMA Press.

Most recently, he took the initiative to enter Ukraine in early March 2022, photographing the consequences of the Russian invasion on the front lines in Donbas and other areas while bringing forth different perspectives of understanding the war.

His works had been published in many international media including The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, The Times, CNN, and so on.
