On Ukraine's front line, twisted wreckage shows sanctions haven't yet stopped Russia
Despite Western sanctions imposed on Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine, evidence on the ground in Kharkiv shows limited impact. Twisted metal remnants of Russian attacks reveal the weaponry used and their devastating effects. With President Trump threatening increased sanctions on Russia, including targeting oil and gas exports, there is hope for economic pressure to change the course of the war. Ukrainian officials, like Police Colonel Serhii Bolvinov, stress the importance of seeking justice alongside peace, as the conflict continues to take a toll on civilians and soldiers.
