Borys Trymbytsky, 62, carries wooden boards near his house damaged following a Russian airstrike in the town of Bilytske, near Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region on January 16, 2025, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russia's army is around six kilometres (four miles) from the centre of Pokrovsk, a formerly thriving mining hub on top of Ukraine's largest coal reserves. The capture of the city and surrounding mines, some of which are even closer to Russian positions, would be a painful blow to Ukraine's army, local communities and the national economy, compounding months of setbacks on the front.
