On their way to Kyiv in March 2022, Russian forces ravaged entire cities and villages, destroying buildings, as well as killing, raping, and torturing their residents. The town of Borodianka, located about 40 kilometers from Kyiv, suffered greatly from Russian airstrikes.

Many of its residents continue to live there either because they have nowhere else to go or because they feel emotionally attached to their hometown.
