On the road to Kherson, the Ukrainians left in ghost towns

Description

On the edge of the frontline between Mykolaiv and Kherson, in southern Ukraine, most residents have left the villages hit by daily shelling. Some, like Ivan in Shevchenkove, stayed despite the danger to take care of the houses and feed the animals: “We try to help each other as much as we can,” says the 25 year old. Further north, Zelenyi Hai is a ghost town, no part of the village has been spared by the bombs and mortar. Even the town’s school, where people were taking shelter, got completely destroyed: "Many died, our city chairman died, I feel very sorry for him," explains Andriy Koshmak, who used to study in the school.

Damaged Cars Left On Roadway After Deep Freeze Hits Vladivostok

Heavy snowfall descended on Russia's far eastern city of Vladivostok over the weekend, transforming roads into icy slip 'n slides for vehicles. Damaged vehicles lined one such city road, abandoned by their owners after slipping down the icy roadway and smashing into other vehicles. Owners decided that it's better to leave the cars where they are and wait for a tow truck or better weather conditions rather than risk losing control once more and damaging their vehicle further.
