The utter devastation in Ukrainian cities that have been hammered for four weeks now is shown in satellite images from Maxar Technologies as shelling continues across most of the country.
The images, taken on Monday, show Russian artillery positions west of the Russian-controlled Antonov air base northwest of the capital, Kiev.
At the same time, the death toll is rising as many areas of the country are shelled on the 27th day since Russia's invasion, while stalemates intensify on the diplomatic front.

In Kiev, a curfew imposed until Wednesday morning is in force, while a ceasefire fight is underway.
[BR][BR]The United Nations General Assembly reconvenes tomorrow, Wednesday, to discuss the crisis in Ukraine and may vote on a draft resolution condemning the humanitarian consequences of Russia's attack.
The text is expected to be approved by a broad majority of the 193-member body, in which no state has a veto.
It is likely, though not certain, that the vote will take place tomorrow, according to diplomatic sources. The aim is to gather at least 141 votes, as in the previous resolution condemning the war, adopted earlier this month.
The first draft, consulted by the German news agency, calls for an end to hostilities on Russia's part, particularly attacks on civilian infrastructure and civilians. It also calls for Moscow to withdraw its troops from Ukrainian territory as soon as possible.
A competing draft resolution has also been prepared by South Africa, which does not mention Russia by name. It is unclear whether it will be put to a vote.
