I'm making my way across the rubble at the side of a building. It's a four-storey apartment block and one whole section has been torn off. strewn around here on the ground. You can still see some belongings from those who lived here. I can see a child's shoe, and there's a woman's handbag over there, and a small blue soft toy.
Among those who were killed here were several generations of one family.
Yulia Tarasevich stands in the ruins and tells me life now is hell on earth. She lost her mother, Tetiana, who was 68, her daughter, Sofia, 27, and her grandson, Adam, who was just 17 months old.
Adam's grandfather, Serhii, tells me Russia's bomb destroyed many lives and the dead must be avenged. He says Ukraine must fight on, not talk peace.
In a cold, windswept cemetery at the edge of the city, we saw the results of combat. All around in the distance there are graves of Ukrainians killed in the war. Lots of soldiers are buried here. Blue and yellow flags flutter above their graves. But many of those buried here are civilians. I was in this graveyard about a year and a half ago. And it's gotten much bigger since then.
Yulia weeps at a grave surrounded by teddy bears, where her grandson and her daughter lie buried together.
Yulia knows that life goes on elsewhere, but she asks the world to remember that there is still a war in Ukraine and that Russia is still killing civilians.

The explosion was so powerful I was terribly afraid to look out the window. People started coming out of this house to see what happened. Thankfully my building wasn't damaged but it's very scary.
I only wanted to have fun.
