Six months of war in Ukraine has seen relentless attacks and devastation in cities including Kharkhiv, Mykolaiv, Kherson and many more.
Ukrainian forces are battling a grinding Russian offensive in the east, which is largely under Russian occupation, and launching counteroffensives in the south of the country.
The Donbas: The Russian military has kept up a persistent barrage of artillery and missile strikes across the eastern Luhansk and Donetsk regions, capturing the last Ukrainian-held city in Luhansk in July. Ukrainians still hold a significant chunk of Donetsk, but are under pressure from three directions.

Intense shelling: Valeriy Zaluzhny, the commander-in-chief of Ukraine's armed forces, acknowledged earlier in August that Russian forces "continue to advance" in the east and sometimes shell Ukrainian positions up to 800 times a day.
But, he added, the "intense" situation is "fully controlled."
