Photos and voices from Sumy, a Ukrainian border city facing constant Russian attacks
Sumy, a Ukrainian city just 18 miles from the Russian border, has been under regular Russian attack since the start of the full-scale invasion. When Ukraine’s military launched its cross-border offensive into Russia’s Kursk region in August, the strikes intensified dramatically, as Sumy now serves as a rear base for the Ukrainian advance. For the people of Sumy, war has long been part of daily life, though that doesn’t make it any less terrifying.
