Settlements In Kharkiv Oblast Liberated From Russian Forces

SHEVCHENKOVE, UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 28: Refugees from Kupiansk are waiting for an evacuation bus to Kharkiv in the central square of the village on September 28, 2022 in Shevchenkove, Ukraine. A road from Kupiansk to Kharkiv passes through the village of Shevchenkove, which was under Russian occupation for half a year. On September 7, Ukrainian troops drove the Russians out of there. Shevchenkove is now the first point on the way to evacuate Kupiansk and nearby villages. Dozens of refugees come here every day. Some of them stay in Shevchenkove, hoping to return home, but the majority go further to Kharkiv or other big cities. (Photo by Ivan Chernichkin/Zaborona/Global Images Ukraine via Getty Images)
