world's largest plane Antonov An-225 Mriya 'Dream' was destroyed
in its hangar on the first days of the Russian invasion.

part of the Kyiv region, became battlefields, heavily shelled,
causing death and damage when Russian troops tried to reach the
Ukrainian capital of Kyiv in February and March 2022. Russian
troops on 24 February entered Ukrainian territory, starting the
conflict that has provoked destruction and a humanitarian
crisis. (ANSA).
