Over 2,000 people still live in the frontline city of Hulyaipole in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhya region despite constant Russian shelling and a lack of electricity, gas, and water. RFE/RL's Yevhenia Nazarova traveled with the Ukrainian Army's Mariupol Chaplain Battalion.
Ukraine has reported dozens of missile strikes across its territory, including the capital, Kyiv, in a significant escalation of Russian attacks. This follows a massive explosion over the weekend that knocked down part of the bridge linking Russia to Crimea.
Ukrainians who managed to flee from life under Russian occupation in the southern region of Kherson have made it to Zaporizhzhya, and some said they will stay with family, while others are still working out their plans. Many describe strip searches by Russian forces at check points.
Zaporizhzhya was one of the first regions to be hit on the first day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24. Yevhenia Nazarova of RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service spoke to people in the city about how their lives have changed.
Ukrainian archaeologists say a discovery in a Scythian tomb sharpens our understanding of the prehistoric warriors who once ruled the steppes of Eurasia.
