Rescue workers work hard to dig through the rubble of a building collapsed by an airstrike.
Residents’ hearts break when they see their dead neighbors, but fortunately, some people walk away.

At the end of last year, the Russian military, which had launched the largest airstrike since the start of the war, once again struck all of Ukraine.
A rocket hit an apartment building in Khmelnytskyi, southwest of the capital Kiev.
In Kryvyrikh, central Dnipro province, a shopping center and a high-rise building collapsed due to a large-scale missile attack.
The Russian military claimed to have attacked Ukrainian military facilities with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, but casualties were mainly in civilian areas.

The Ukrainian military commander-in-chief announced that he had shot down 18 Russian cruise missiles and 8 drones.
As attacks by the Russian military are intensifying, some are calling for the seizure of Russian assets frozen overseas.
Joseph Stiglitz, a professor at Columbia University and a 2001 Nobel Prize winner in economics who served as vice president of the World Bank, wrote this argument in the Guardian.
Professor Stiglitz argued that just as assets are seized when individuals harm others and must compensate, the same principle should be applied between countries.
Previously, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a similar argument.
President Zelenskyy said frozen Russian assets worth about $300 billion, or about 395 trillion won, should be used to support Ukraine.
President Zelenskyy argued that the Russian elite is more interested in money than human life, so losing assets would be the most painful.
