Scars of war seem to be everywhere in Ukraine after 3 months

No matter where Ukrainians live, the 3-month-old war never seems to be far away

May 25

A worker paints a "Saint Javelin", a Virgin Mary holding an American-made anti-tank missile, in Kyiv, Ukraine, Tuesday, May 24, 2022. No matter where they live, the 3-month-old war never seems to be far away for Ukrainians. Those in towns and villages near the front lines hide in basements from constant shelling, struggling to survive with no electricity or gas — and often no running water. But even in regions out of the range of the heavy guns, frequent air raid sirens wail as a constant reminder that a Russian missile can strike at any time — even for those walking their dogs, riding their bicycles and taking their children to parks in cities like Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Lviv.(AP Photo/Natacha Pisarenko)
