Valya Voronets, 66, prepares tea with her husband Myhailo Scherbakov, 65, in their house near the cemetery in Walnut Street in Mykulychi, Ukraine on Sunday, April 17, 2022. In the Scherbakovs' house they are still without electricity, water and gas after more than 42 days since the Russian invasion began. A Russian soldier once came running and pointed his gun at Myhailo after spotting him climbing onto the roof to get a cellphone signal. "Are you going to kill an old man?" he replied. Not all the Russians were like that. Voronets said she cried together with another soldier, barely 21. "You're too young," she told him. Another soldier told her they didn't want to fight. Still, she feared them all. But she offered them milk from her only cow. "I felt sorry for them in these conditions," she said. "And if you're nice to them, maybe they won't kill you."

Credit cards as seen Thursday, July 1, 2021, in Orlando, Fla. After paying off credit card debt, it’s important to evaluate your relationship with plastic to determine whether a second chance is worthwhile. While a break from credit can be necessary and useful for establishing new spending habits, doing away with a credit card entirely could negatively impact your credit. Credit cards aren’t a match for everyone, but they can be helpful tools in your credit journey if used responsibly. If you’re considering returning to credit cards, a stay-out-of-debt plan that is tailored to your motivations may prevent debt the next time around. (AP Photo/John Raoux, File)
