Faith and grim determination are reflected in Sunday’s images from a Ukraine at war.
Outside the capital, Kyiv, in suburbs that have emerged from weeks of Russian occupation, elderly people line up for donated food and workers are lifting bodies from a mass grave in hopes of identifying them for proper burial and documenting any war crimes. A sheet of plastic covers the excavated earth of the Bucha cemetery, awaiting spring rains after this bitter winter.
Services are held inside the church while abominations are uncovered outside. Work must not be interrupted as this opportunity may not come: the mayor of Kyiv said on Sunday that the Russian military will certainly return if Ukrainian forces cannot defeat it.
Fighting is already heating up as Russian forces refocus east, where a boy in a wheelchair is among a crowd trying to evacuate from Kramatorsk, the city where a train platform became a battlefield just days before . Further north in Kharkiv, under devastating attacks for weeks, three men await their fate in a basement.
This is what survival looks like for many: maneuvering around an impact crater, searching through upended buildings, saying goodbye.
