Four years after Russia's full-scale invasion began, violence in Ukraine is escalating once again — just as the coldest days of winter take hold.
Russia is intensifying attacks, launching hundreds of drones and missiles, including glide bombs that can level entire villages and leave families exposed overnight.
The devastation is horrific.
"There is no more village left. It was blown to pieces," says Valerii Yastrebov, 58, who fled on a bicycle with his wife and son after their home was destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, just like Valerii, have similar stories to tell.
