The town of Irpin, northeast of the Ukrainian capital, was recently liberated by Ukrainian forces and has been reduced to an eerie wasteland of burned-out buildings, shattered vehicles, and bodies still lying in the streets. Ukrainian forces managed to drive out Russian troops who had occupied the Kyiv suburb. The town's mayor, Oleksandr Markushyn, said up to 300 civilians were killed in the fighting.
