Russian missile assaults have wreaked havoc on Ukrainian cities, towns, and villages. These before and after photos depict some of the devastation inflicted by the Russian incursion last week.
While Russian forces remain some way from the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, the city has been subjected to a series of lethal aircraft bombardment.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, a Russian missile struck the residential building below.
Irpin, a little city 20 kilometers (12 miles) northwest of Kyiv, has recently become a battleground between Russian and Ukrainian soldiers.
Artillery and air attacks have caused extensive damage in the region, with one attack nearly entirely destroying the residential neighborhood depicted below.
Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, has been the target of Russian aircraft bombardment for many days, and the city center has been severely damaged.
Ukrainian officials say indiscriminate bombardment "pounded all night" on Wednesday on residential and other areas of the city, which UN investigators are looking into as a possible war crime.
