The photo shows deep cracks running horizontally across an asphalt surface. At the bottom of the frame, a person’s feet in white sneakers stand directly over the fissure. The image metaphorically reflects the consequences of the magnitude 2.6 earthquake in Poltava Oblast and evokes associations with potential infrastructure damage, including concerns about the Crimean Bridge.
