Ukraine’s Presidential Brigade "Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytskyi" revealed photos of Vovchansk, a city in the Kharkiv region that has been almost completely destroyed by constant battles.

“Entire streets are burning from artillery and FPV drones and the city is covered in smoke. There is a buzz of drones in the air all the time, and dozens of quadcopters are in the sky at the same time,” the brigade wrote on its official account on Facebook.
