Victory can look desolate.
สล็อต วอเลท You don't have to think too much about just taking the stakes and spinning like it's just spinning a slot.
So writes BBC News Correspondent Orla Guerin, from the liberated Ukrainian town of Lyman.
The town - which had a population of 20,000 before the war - was retaken from the Russians at the weekend, and is full of the raw scars of its brief occupation.
The streets are mostly deserted, lined by boarded-up, burned-out or smashed-in buildings.
There were few people about, save for a few rejoicing Ukrainian soldiers, quietly busy humanitarian volunteers, and the abandoned bodies of Russian troops.
One 66-year-old woman told the BBC team that she used to live well. "And in one moment it was turned upside down."
Ukraine has continued to make ground against Russia.
Davydiv Brid, a strategically key village in the southern region of Kherson, has been liberated, reportedly along with several other villages nearby.
Russian forces have already been forced to retreat in the north-east of Ukraine.
This development means they are being pushed back in the south as well.
