Russian shelling destroyed a home in Petropavlivka, a village in eastern Ukraine seized by invading forces. (c.

As the crow flies, the nearest point of land controlled by the Ukrainian military lies on the opposite bank 5 miles away. As a wartime reality, the nearest point of entry into free Ukraine for the city’s captive residents lies 1,200 miles away.
