STORYLINE:
Firefighters continued searching for victims or survivors in the debris of the destroyed buildings of Borodyanka on Saturday, while residents tried to recover some of their belongings from the town that was occupied for weeks by Russian forces.
Located 75 kilometres (some 45 miles) northwest of Kyiv, Borodyanka was home to more than 12-thousand people.
The town center became almost a ghost town and dozens of victims are expected to be found under the rubble of the several buildings destroyed during the fighting between Russian troops and Ukrainian forces.
"My children (daughter and son in law) have been under the rubble for 36 days. My daughter and my son-in-law died," said Maria Vaselenko while showing what was left of her apartment. Her two grandkids, two teenagers that were evacuated to Poland, were now left orphans, she added.
In a building where around 100 people used to live, only a few remained.
