This photograph taken on August 4, 2024, shows smoke rising from the Toretsk direction and the destroyed following shelling Saint George Church in the village of Oleksandro-Shultyne, in the eastern Donetsk region, 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)
