Borodyanka, a town of 12,000 people 40 kilometers northwest of Kyiv, has suffered some of the worst destruction seen by any place in Russia's war against Ukraine.
More than 10 apartment buildings in the heart of the town were destroyed by Russia's bombs in early March. Only recently, when Ukraine regained control of Borodyanka, it became possible to start clearing the rubble. A month after the attack, there is little hope to find survivors.
Hundreds of people are expected to be found buried under the rubble.

The drone attack hit a nine-story building in the city's Industrial district, Kharkiv Oblast Governor Oleh Syniehubov said. While civilians were impacted — including two 8-year-old boys who suffered acute stress reactions — no casualties have been reported.
