In a Ukrainian apartment building damaged in a Russian airstrike, some still cling to their homes.
Hanna Petrivna, 79, is more concerned about the abandoned dog that now sleeps in the bomb shelter with the other neighborhood strays.
“Who would leave a dog?” she says, hands in the pocket of her long black coat and a black hat pulled down over her ears. She shakes her head with disapproval.
When she moved in 28 years ago, the building was brand-new, and she and her husband were excited to make their home in the city of Bila Tserkva, 50 miles south of Kyiv. But now windows are blown out and the apartments are filled with debris after a Russian airstrike on a military base next door.
The force of the explosion reverberated through the apartments facing it, picking up glass, window frames, doors and a tornado of family belongings. Most of the residents who had not already left raced to pack.
