Ukraine war: Incredible before-and-after images of Kyiv trends now

The world mourned a year of death and conflict this week as Friday February 24 marked the first anniversary of Vladimir Putin's order for his aggressive Russian Armed Forces to invade Ukraine. 

In the space of a year, thousands have been killed and millions have fled their homes - many of which have been destroyed by relentless missile strikes. 

Ukraine's capital Kyiv saw some of the most devastating damage in the country.

MailOnline looks at before-and-after images which show how the city has recovered and repaired its buildings and infrastructure.
