The constant bombardment of military strikes is causing great devastation across Ukraine, as evidenced by new Maxar Technologies satellite images.

Volnovkha: In southeastern Ukraine, about 35 miles (55 kilometers) north of Mariupol, much of the small town of Volnovaka lies in ruins – devastated by military strikes. Where some buildings once stood, only burnt out structures remain.

On Wednesday, Russian state media conducted interviews with Russian-backed separatists from the Donbass region of the city, which they claimed to have captured from Ukrainian forces.

The roof of the city train station appears to have been punctured. Buildings to the northeast were also exposed to roofs. The only evidence that some buildings stood near the central plaza is their charred walls.

On the northern side of Volnovakia, a church and an apartment complex were destroyed. Debris was seen covering the ground around them.

At a roundabout towards the northwest side of the city, almost all the buildings seen in the satellite image were severely damaged.
