A fence is marked with shrapnel holes from Russian shelling in the village of Velyka Komyshuvakha, Izium district, Kharkiv region, Ukraine, on May 6, 2026. At the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, the village was on the front line and was liberated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in September 2022. No buildings have survived, and the population has decreased from about 500 to 80 people, who are facing challenges amid the extensive mining of the surrounding territory.
