Alona, 8 years old, who together with her mother Yulia and brother Oleg evacuated from the town of Novogrodivka, located not far from the frontline, waits on an evacuation train in Pokrovsk, in the eastern Donetsk region, on August 2, 2024, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The industrial Donbas region has long been a key prize for the Kremlin. A decade ago, Vladimir Putin fostered a rebellion by separatists who seized swathes of the industrial territory in battles that cost thousands of lives. After failing to capture the capital Kyiv with its February 2022 invasion, Russia set its sights on wresting all of Donbas, Ukraine's mining heartland. (Photo by Roman PILIPEY / AFP)
