A makeshift memorial that commemorates those killed by shelling in Belgorod, Russia, is seen on Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024. An attack in the city near the border with Ukraine on Dec. 30 killed 25 people and injured 109. Such attacks inside Russia have dealt a heavy blow to President Vladimir Putin's attempts to reassure his countrymen that their lives have been largely unchanged by the nearly two-year military operation.
