Civilians attempt to rebuild after onslaught of Russian shelling in Chernihiv

CIVILIANS attempt to rebuild their lives after an onslaught of Russian shelling in the city of Chernihiv, Ukraine.

In Yahidne, a twenty-minute drive to the south of Chernihiv, a hotel can be seen still standing despite significant damage.

The building looked as though a powerful round blasted through its upper levels, leaving a wave-shaped section of now-missing rooms and roof.

Chernihiv, towards the border with Belarus, was not spared from shelling and thousands were left to cope without electricity, heating or water.
