A woman passes an apartment building destroyed by fighting, in the village of Moshun, outside Kyiv, Ukraine, Friday, Nov. 4, 2022. Moschun was hard-hit at the start of the war, approximately 37 people were killed, — among a population of about 1,000 — and 160 homes were completely destroyed, say residents. The town was occupied by Russian troops for nearly six weeks.
