Thousands of buildings have been destroyed in Ukraine since Russia's war began nearly seven months ago.

Volunteers clear the debris and plays music as they go about this tiring job.

Members of the volunteers' movement Repair Together travel to regions which were under Russian occupation and help local residents clean up damaged buildings to the accompaniment of electronic music.
