Ukraine might be fending off a full-scale Russian invasion but a brand new holiday resort is taking shape in the western Carpathian Mountains.
It will offer 25 hotels with more than 5,000 rooms, in a ski area kitted out with lifts and a range of pistes, spanning 127 hectares.
Built near the village of Volosyanka in the Lviv area, mountains here reach some 1,200 metres.
Ukraine is in the midst of a war that still causing civilian casualties, especially in its east, but the resort complex is reassuringly close to the Polish border and the Carpathian region has hardly seen any Russian missile or drone attacks.
