‘We can breathe now’: how a family survived Russian occupation in a Ukrainian village


Kamyanka (Ukraine) (AFP) – The eastern Ukrainian village of Kamyanka, on the outskirts of Izyum, used to be home to 1,200 people. But after months of war and occupation by Russian forces, when Ukrainian soldiers recaptured the village in September, just 15 residents remained. One family managed to survive in the midst of heavy fighting and near total destruction.
