TUESDAY August 16, 2022: 'LIFE GOES ON' by Award Winning ZUMA Press photographer Daniel Ceng Shou-Yi reporting from the frontlines in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine has shown how difficult it is to live anything like a normal life when fighting is going on around you.

The UN recently reported over 3 million 'cross-border movements' back into Ukraine, and Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said the city's population was back to two-thirds of its pre-war level.
