The Wider Image: Elderly brothers eke out life among ruins

A view shows the house of Stepan Kovalyov, 80, and his wife Tetyana, 79, which was destroyed during the months of Russian occupation, amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, in the village of Posad-Pokrovske, northwest of the city of Kherson, Ukraine January 27, 2023. There is no central power or heating and the surrounding fields are heavily mined, making them unworkable. Yet the couple, along with Stepan’s brother Volodymyr and his wife who live nearby, has decided to stay in the isolated farming village to live out their days in the place they know best. The couple currently lives inside their cellar, which their late son originally built for use as a food store. REUTERS/Nacho Doce
