The New York Times has published an article by Andrew E. Kramer and Maria Varenikova with photographs by Nicole Tung, reporting from the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine focused on the DTEK Kurakhivska thermal power plant. The piece documents the devastating toll russia's invasion has taken on the industrial heartland that was once an economic engine for Ukraine.
The Kurakhivska plant, which the article describes as "the heart" of the town it helped give rise to during the Soviet era, has been repeatedly struck by Russian artillery this year as fighting rages in the east.
