Spanish traveler Alberto Blasco Ventas looked out at Ukraine's destroyed Irpin brige, blown up to stop Russian troops in 2022 and now a hotspot for thrill-seeking tourists visiting the country.

Russian forces had planned to cross the bridge in their attempts to seize Kyiv at the beginning of the war.

The Russian army has since retreated hundreds of kilometers away, but launches near-daily missile and drone strikes on the Ukrainian capital, which Blasco Ventas chose as his vacation spot.
