Irpin (Ukraine) (AFP) – Ukrainians in the Kyiv region attend memorial ceremonies to mark the fourth anniversary of the full scale war with Russia. “Only the horrors remain in my memory,” says Olena Ponomariova, who lost a 24-year-old family friend in the fighting. The cities of Irpin and Bucha, located in the Kyiv region, were the site of fierce fighting for the Ukrainian capital in the early days of Russia’s invasion.
