What does a war-torn city/town/village mean? This is when residential buildings were destroyed and burned by an enemy missile. When communications are damaged, there is no more water, electricity, internet, and even telephone communication in the city. This is when people live in huts built from the remains of their houses, collect rainwater for drinking and cook dinner on a fire. This is a ruined city, and there are now dozens of such in Ukraine.

Elon Musk also joined the restoration of Ukrainian cities. While muscovites sell their compatriots (now in short supply) sanitary pads for €30 per pack, people in Ukrainian villages use Starlink.
