Mykola Melenets, 37, stands inside the destroyed home of his deceased brother, Oleksandr Melenets, 44, who his family says was killed in shelling in the village of Kamyanka, on the outskirts of Izium, Kharkiv region, Ukraine, November 3, 2022. Even though Russian forces have been driven back from the area and Ukraine now controls the territory, Mykola and his mother Nina doubt they will ever return for good. “We could come home but now there is nothing there. Our village is totally destroyed”, said Mykola. REUTERS/Clodagh Kilcoyne
